Diamanda's performance was one of the most powerful ones that i saw in a long time. The flows of energy were almost unbearable, a need for muscle relaxants was so intense. Breathless for two hours. and her last encore was the obsessing "Gloomy Sunday". Her diamond mask belt is one of the fetishist objects that are marking the culture of a becoming goddess.
Diamanda Galas' concert in an Austrian 13th century Gothic church follows the line of Misha Katz conducting Fantastic Symphony, Roberta Carrera acting Judith, Robert Smith playing his third encore, Silviu Purcarete's Lucky giving the speech, disappearing of an old clown in Fellini's "Clowns".
On a different note, Alexis O'Hara was a glitchy-noisy surprise, all those weird sounds were made on stage by her body and were mixed only by her hands. My crystal clear image of PoMo Feminsim. As she told me after the show: Don't worry! It's quite simple: just use two microphones.
