FAKE mistress
FAKE mistress started as a singer of the dada-performance group The Fake Masters, but is now performing mostly solo. The classical trained voice is her instrument to impersonate various shapes of characters and emotions and thus creating a highly atmospheric music, evoking fragments of films, emotions and stories fusing it to a kind of modern symphony.
The music she composes and performs live is a mixing of field-recordings, her own recordings of instruments and cut-ups of old classical orchestra music vinyls that have been processed, using Linux and open source programms only.
TÖDLICHE FRAUEN/DEADLY WOMEN
The musical performance Tödliche Frauen is based on seven musical portraits composed and illustrated by FAKE mistress/Olivia Pils.
7 murderesses, 7 songs, 7 performances
Concept and music: FAKE mistress (Olivia Pils)
Director: Barbara Lubich and Elisabeth Wulff-Werthner
Performers: Mila Burghardt, Ulrike Ertl (A), Anna Fotiadou (CY), Cindy Hammer, Anne Klein, Kirsty Kross (AU), Johanna Olausson (S)
Charlotte Corday, Lizzie Borden, Elizabeth Bathory, Magda Goebbels, Aileen Wuornos, Maria Tarnowska and Gesche Gottfried, seven women from different
different times and countries who (possibly) committed murder: Love, betrayal, madness.
Guilty or not guilty? Perpetrators or victims?
Some were turned into heroines, some into monsters. Their stories inspired films, plays and comics.
Seven performers from the fields of dance and video develop a (multimedia) performance to live music by FAKE mistress. Under the direction of
Barbara Lubich and Elisabeth Wulff-Werthner, the deadly women meet in a talk show full of poses and movements, truths and untruths.
