An energetic atmosphere brimming with the desire to rebel, challenge, and embrace the unconventional. We relish our nightly visits to the Andrra Stage because it offers something for everyone to learn, be curious about, or simply enjoy and unwind after a day of immersing ourselves in the incredible array of films and documentaries in Prizren.

We kick off with the powerful and captivating sounds of The MilkSnatchers, a band hailing from Kosovo and formed in 2018. Under the spotlight of the Andrra Stage, the sounds of bravery and compelling lyrics resonate, aiming to evoke reactions and inspire liberation. Band members Lekë Morina (Guitar), Jon Shala (Bass), Donat Vatoci (Vocals), Viola Rrecaj (Keys), and Granit Havolli (Drums) deliver an astounding performance that gets the crowd dancing. As the final notes demand exaltation, The MilkSnatchers pour their all into it, creating a truly wonderful moment.

But there's more: The Vagina Corporation takes the stage, immersing the crowd in their unique sound. Hailing from Skopje, this band is influenced by their social surroundings and delves deep into the heart of the matter – the need for change and the unending quest to shout out all the truths the world needs to hear. Playing during this session of DokuNights, while embracing the theme of strong reactionary stances, ШТАДТ (STADT) graces the stage, leading the audience on a journey to discover power through sound. With each beat, a blend of chaos and a taste of heaven fills the air.

ШТАДТ (STADT) is an electrifying EBM/darkwave project founded by Dmytro Filiushyn, who infuses his own life experiences into his creations. Renowned for delivering captivating performances, last night was no exception. In their quest to find meaning through provocation, they pave the way for not only personal enjoyment but also the establishment of a stance for a cathartic journey.

Tonight, we eagerly await your presence for what promises to be an unforgettable experience featuring Besa M and Bimbimma, Killua, and Despoti. The night is still young, so make sure you don't miss this event.

See you there, and find more information on how to attend the event on DokuFest’s online presence/website.
