BOOK YOUR TICKETS VIA EMAIL @ booking@mengi.net
There is a story that tells of Beauty and the Beast’s fascination with their own shadow. They kept looking at it, scratching it, pecking at it, until their shadow woke up, became alive and then ate them. Beauty and the Beast are now “Dead Beauty and the Beast.”
Beauty and the Beast is a band, a show, a party, a workshop and a collaboration between the two choreographers Amanda Apetrea, Halla Ólafsdóttir and their friends. They are now in the process of making a new dance performance called DEAD Beauty and the Beast. This time it is in the shape of an album that merges dance, poetry, music, light, darkness and the in between, seeing inner and outer reality.
This is an invitation to a unique event where Beauty and the Beast give a poetry reading followed by an amazing dj set. They will try out some new material never heard before.
It will be sexy and embarrassing for all of us! Come as you are and leave shape shifted to your future self.
This is contagious
and we will spread the disease
porno pandemic
Multi bodied force
with a message of rebel
we penetrate worlds
Beauty and the Beast
give sweet head, give it good too
they have two damn heads
Pierce your dirty gaze
tease your filthy mind, cause they
have two asses too
Two asses four ears
six pussies wider than hell
deeper than the sea
All who dare to love
all who dare to freaking love
all who still dare to
