Dear IETM-Berlin visitors,

on the occasion of the next IETM meeting, BINDER + PARTNER BERLIN restages LOUIS & BEBE - 1 couple 3 lives 3 deaths 6 songs - by and with Joanna Dudley / Schneider TM from 15 - 17 April 2010  in the Berliner Sophiensaele.

     
                             
LOUIS & BEBE presents a maverick couple on stage: Joanna Dudley and Dirk Dresselhaus aka Schneider TM. Joanna Dudley is a long time music theatre performer, Javanese pop queen and classically trained musician. Dirk Dresselhaus has one famed foot in the electro pop scene and the other firmly planted in the world of improvised noise. Together they are LOUIS & BEBE.
Whether brother and sister, evil twins or fated lovers, LOUIS & BEBE are two sides of the same coin. Like shamans, LOUIS & BEBE strip away their identities and find new ones, from human to animal and from animal to vegetable. The non-linear life lines of LOUIS & BEBE are punctuated by many deaths and accompanied by their own sound track of song & pop & noise.
