[12:29]

Sample of digitized version (2017)


This is a sample version
with live camera recorded sounds.
The music in the show was composed and
live performed by MANUEL GÖTTSCHING.

 

An extraordinary fashion show of
CLAUDIA SKODA
and
TABEA BLUMENSCHEIN

at Berlin Kongresshalle
(now Haus der Kulturen der Welt, HKW).


Ignoring the classic "catwalk" style,
a dark room with red wire fences was created:
sculptor  »JÜRGEN SKODA built
CAGES
in which the models
presented the pieces of
Claudia's and Tabea's
1979 collection

mimicking exotic birds!

The fences kept the audience in distance whilst

SALOME and LUCIANO CASTELLI as "GEILE TIERE"
roamed the space
together with "TWO BIRDS"
(performing dancer duo EMU from Paraguay)

to the stunning sound collage
"BIG BIRDS"
written for this show and performed live by
MANUEL GÖTTSCHING .


This film was screened as part of a multimedia show
to honour Claudia's live achievment
as a fashion designer:
