In
the days gone by, on a late night stroll around the wagons of a freak
show on its touring journey, creatures of this peculiar world dress
up in sequins and pearls to satisfy the greedy curiosity of their
audience. A dark circus with the most unusual performers allures us
into a life of alternate beauty and enchanting ways.
Deformity
of the body, the mind or the soul is the main plight of the Tiger
Lillies FREAKSHOW as it explores the deviant charms of the abnormal.
The music carries us from scene to scene with thirty new songs in
the infamous Tiger Lillies' style to tell us the tales of these
peculiar and captivating creatures absolutely unique, charmingly
odd and ultimately magical... Creatures with three hearts, six arms
and Siamese twins attached at the hip, come to life to shock, thrill
and satiate our curiosity of the bizarre.

A
unique and intoxicating blend of Sebastiano Toma's delicate and
sensitive artistic view and the Tiger Lillies' raw sarcasm and poignant
humour, the Tiger Lillies FREAKSHOW takes us on a journey to a parallel
and taboo universe revolving around and challenging our own.
The
Tiger Lillies FREAKSHOW was inspired, encouraged and finally produced
by ADaM Productions, the company that introduced the Tiger Lillies
and Sebastiano Toma to the Greek audience in 2003 when the Tiger
Lillies Circus became the talk of Athens with over 60 sold out performances.
The FREAKSHOW premiered in ADaM Productions' very own Badminton
Theater in January 2009 in celebration of the Tiger Lillies' 20th
anniversary and was enjoyed by over 12,000 fans. In November 2009
the FREAKSHOW had its official German premiere and "took Munich's
Tollwood Festival by storm" according to the high-profile German
newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. Five magical performances in
Tollwood's Grand Chapiteau earned the Tiger Lillies FREAKSHOW the
praise of the German press and the hearts of the German audience.

Recognized
as the sequel of the Tiger Lillies Circus, the Tiger Lillies FREAKSHOW
pushes the boundaries of normalcy, tempts the edgier side of human
nature, sparks a controversy within one's mind and in one's eyes.
It is a dark circus show where the world of the misfit and the deformed
unfold on stage and in our minds. Through dark humour, eerie beauty
and imaginative symbolism the stories of unique creatures come to
life and take us on a journey to strange places around the world and
within ourselves. |
