INTRUSO WORLD TOUR
Ara Malikian will perform at the Barbican Hall, presenting his new tour Intruso

Ara Malikian will perform at Barbican Hall in London, presenting his new tour Intruso — a deeply personal journey born from the anguish of not fitting in anywhere, and culminating in the embrace of his rich multicultural identity. Through art and music, he finds his home in the entire world.

“In Lebanon, I wasn’t considered Lebanese enough because I was of Armenian descent. Armenians didn’t see me as Armenian enough because I was born in Lebanon. And when I settled in Europe, I wasn’t considered European because I hadn’t been born there.”

This experience shaped my relationship with music. Every note echoed the longing for a home that didn’t exist — a place where I never quite belonged.

Yet this condition of being an intruder gave me the chance to explore and enjoy fascinating music and cultures beyond my own tradition, allowing me to contribute my voice and multicultural experience.

Thanks to being an intruder, I’ve discovered that the whole world is my home. My house lives in my body and soul — an infinite space where identity transforms and music becomes a universal language.
