falling in love again 

A durational performance with live musicians (chello and violin, guitar or other), premiered at Femme Daemonium performance event at King’s Head in London, March 1st 2019 and then later in different versions at Cross Attic in Prague, at Clownslam and Bande a Part in Berlin in November and december 2019.

Falling in love again is an exploration of the way love is performed, from grotesque to sexy, occasionally touching, intellectual or even hilarious. Through a compulsive repetition, the song made popular by Marlene Dietrich is transforming into a litany, revealing the strangeness behind the current structures of love and the artist's struggle. She can't help shifting in and out of the internalised male gaze, falling constantly, but she always somehow picks herself up. Noemi performs as an old-fashioned diva, a clown and a bloody balloon-popping monster. Every Falling in love (again) is different, depending on the audience/the person, the atmosphere, the room - and it can go from ecstatically hot to painfully subtextual. 

Ein rätselhafter Schimmer,
Ein "je ne sais-pas-quoi"
Liegt in den Augen immer
Bei einer schönen Frau.
Doch wenn sich meine Augen
Bei einem vis-à-vis
Ganz tief in seine saugen
Was sprechen dann sie?:
Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß
Auf Liebe eingestellt,
Denn das ist meine Welt.
Und sonst gar nichts.
Das ist, was soll ich machen,
Meine Natur,
Ich kann halt lieben nur
Und sonst gar nichts.
