THE TIGER LILLIES

The Tiger Lillies sing about death, guilt and punishment, violently and cannily. They consure up the spirit of Tom Waits shifted to a cabaret of the thirties. You don´t know whether Martyn Jacques, singer and songwriter of the group, owes the lyrics of his songs and ballads to his good connection to heaven or to hell. Anyway the audience gets goose-flesh when he starts his trip to a long forgotten vaudeville atmosphere with his high falsetto voice, urged by the tunes of his accordion coming from far beyond, joined by his devilish mate Adrian Stout on the bass and Adrian Huge on his drum set.

Inspired by the London cult band Tiger Lillies, top-artists of the international variety scene unfold archaic dreams of life, love and the impossible.

The Tiger Lillies have invited the famous contorsionist Alba from Albania, as well as the two acrobats Yuri and Anton, who have won the gold medal of the Festival de Cirque de Monaco with their elegant performances. They are also accompanied by Michelle, who shows the public that nothing is what it seems, and by Viktoria, a Hula-Hop-artist trained at the Moscow circus. The performance is completed by professional acrobats La Spina and Lisa; a passionate dance above the heads of the public.
