Who dares wins: «La Clique» wicked good
Miss Behave will probably never win an award for good manners and eloquence in her life. She plays up hopelessly all along the line, rubs lasciviously against spectators, licks up full of relish their bald heads, tastes their coke and spits it out disgustedly into the champagne aside – in case she had not drunk it up already before. The enfant terrible puts away chair legs, inserts a rose through her tongue and turns it around. But Miss Behave is not by chance a part of the show. She is the perfect character to front a quite different and very special variety spectacle.
«Provocative» is the right word to describe the wild show from the United Kingdom the best way. Everything that is anyhow ugly or at least shocking, nevertheless stage-qualified and sexy is sent onto the little white platform amidst the seating rows. The result is a cocky, damned funny anomalia revue. Almost harmless still the ouverture by the rocking hand puppets of the Canadian Cabaret Décadanse and the English Gents’ handbalancing act – even when these stand there quickly in Union Jack slips. Amy G sings, steps, skates, plays ukulele. And all of that in the spectator’s interest astonishing talentless. Mister Nonsense Otto Wessely (see also
«Désirs» at the Crazy Horse) spirits a cigarette away and gets captivated by his sense of honour when he strips to the buff just to proof that he has not hide it heaven knows where.
It could not be worse? Ooooh yes, it can! King of the show is Captain Frodo, 33, narrow-chested with pierced nipples, contortionist from Norway, the anatomic scare in person. Not enough to deform the body incredibly, to squeeze it through tennis rackets and to bog for some seconds, no, he also comments his manoeuvres. How he reorganises his bones to can leave the stage on two legs remains his secret. David O’Mer – in spite of his Irish name a German from Berlin – is a muscle man and floods the first seating rows which have preventively been wrapped in plastic tarps. Why? To present salti and pirouettes beneath the roof he let lift himself out of a water filled bath tub.
Résumé: Exhausted but happy the audience goes home. Surely noone will forget «La Clique» soon!
