The Tiger Lillies play "The Freakshow" live at Badminton

Описание: Record June 29, 2011 and aired Saturday, February 25, 2012

Stories about people who come from old, but live in our time . People among us who come to show us their story and become entangled with ours ... Tommy the miser , Amanda with the longest hair in the world, Martha the giant lady, and Max with six hands, the Dreamer and many others.
----

Where is the freak in us? How big or how small does one have to be to understand this world and be part of it? Are six arms enough to comfort someone? How many hearts must a women have to live her destiny? Is our hand big enough to hold everything we want?
How many red noses do we have to put on to be fanny? Or may be the red nose has to be as big as a circus tent?

A freak amazes us,because he doesn´t fit in the norm. Because he is a giant or has three legs. From time to time we see something fascinating without fully understanding it. We have to scratch under the surface. In our show all kind of freaks come together, like the „Dreamer“, the „Avarice Man“, „Amanda“ the woman with the world´s longest hair, the siam twins and many others. „

The Tiger Lillies Freakshow“ is like a sharp knife either opening a package full of sweets and nice things for you or stabbing a pinkballon in front of your eyes. Both of these possible scenarios are accompanied by the music of the Tiger Lillies.
