Extraordinary singer, extraordinary life

A legendary performer from the New York underground scene graces us for one evening with her presence in our big Castor Spiegeltent – we are greatly honoured. Little Annie, who once joked that her autobiography should be called It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time, co-created – together with co-icons Beth B, Evilyn Frantic, Paul Wallfisch and Jim Coleman – this multimedia theatre concert. With lots of humour, emotion and a touch of caustic self-criticism she unpacks her endless suitcase full of secrets.

The life of the iconic underground artist and musician during the radical and wild 1970’s in New York differs so much from our current day and age, that it almost appears to be a whole different dimension. The choices in life Annie was forced to make are nether less universally recognisable. To be completely honest: we don’t even know what exactly is going to happen during this unique theatre concert, but given its famous line-up, it can’t be any less that unforgettable. Get ready to meet three absolute cult heroes from the New York indie scene, a burlesque performer and last but not least: somebody’s guitar playing husband.

About the artist

52 Jokers Naming

The unheard of and seeing the unseen have been themes in my work since the late 1970s. With an eye for creating dialogue, community, and a place for self-knowledge and acceptance, my films bring people's relationship to life. with their bodies focused on topics such as identity, sexuality, gender, and power exposed. In 52 JOKERS, Little Annie and Evilyn Frantic radically explore the quest for connection and the universal pain behind heartbreak, desire, memories and redemption.

~Beth B

Little Annie is the best friend you've ever had. She takes you to the other side of heartache.
