Berkeley Repertory Theater. Meow Meow
The New Yorker named Meow Meow, one of the top performers of the year, her ,kamikaze cabaret and performance art exotica has been called "Sensational" (The Times, UK) "cabaret diva of the highest order" (NY Post) and "The Queen of Chanson", The Berliner Zeitung. Multi award winning performances have been curated by David Bowie, Pina Bausch and Mikhail Baryshnikov. She recorded an album, "Here, Kitty, Kitty..." with the Oregon Symphony due for release in 2014.
Emma Rice directed this Berkeley Rep performance by Meow Meow, a cabaret singer from London, who went through a post modern repertoire of songs. She admires Laurie Anderson. Enjoyed it moderately. I admire one woman/one man shows; it is difficult to carry a whole singing song narrative... yourself. Berkeley Rep usually does one version at least of a one woman or one man show.
Meow Meow is first hilariously funny, and then tear dripping tragic. Time Out New York calls her a spectacular crowd surfing queen of song dragging the audience "kicking and screaming into the 21st century."
Not too much more to say about her; you had to experience this musical theater, and any direction Emma Rice gives a play turns out is worthy of an audience. Meow Meow got sold out sensational reviews in the Opera House in Sydney Australia, and appeared in Shanghai's art festival, and is appearing in NYC, in the Weimar Series at Lincoln Center, after finishing with the Berkeley Rep and the LA Philharmonic. She is also singing with the Pina Bausch Dance Company in Berlin and on and on, back to London to the South Bank....
