An outrageous one-woman odyssey from post-war Berlin to pop stardom, as BillieTrix recounts her wild life in this cabaret-style satire with songs by the Pet ShopBoys
Frances Barber stars as Billie Trix — icon, radical, existentialist, and completedisaster — in this bold and hilarious one-woman odyssey through the 20th and 21stCenturies.
From post-war Berlin to the New York art scene, from folk duos to disco comebacks,Billie Trix has done it all — often naked, usually high, and always on her own terms.Drawing on her warped memories, lost loves, and chaotic career, Billie delivers asavage, surreal monologue that collides memoir, stand-up, and cabaret.
Blending monologue with original songs by The Pet Shop Boys, MUSIK is a genredefying exploration of fame, failure, and fierce individuality — wrapped in sequinsand spiked with satire.
At once riotous and poignant, this cult show returns as a filmed stage event thatcements Billie Trix’s place in the pantheon of outsider icons.
As she says herself:“I am music. Ich bin Musik. Without me, there is nothing."
