    • 3 | Swords & Songs with Sarah Eida

      Alexis sits down with Sarah Eida, an artist working at the intersection of music, embodiment, and performance identity. From her intimate work as a songwriter to commanding the stage as the leading force behind Howling Mountain, and stepping into the electrifying persona of Sassa Von Vuur, Sarah doesn’t compartmentalise her creativity, she multiplies it. Different stages, same nervous system. Together, they explore alter egos, authorship, vulnerability, and what it means to fully inhabit every version of yourself as an artist.
