Anya Anastasia Presents TORTE E MORT: Songs of Cake and Death

After a World Premiere season chock-full of rave reviews at Melbourne Fringe Festival, Adelaide-born, cabaret songstress Anya Anastasia is set to transform Ukiyo at the Royal Croquet Club for the Adelaide Fringe season of the darkly humourous, seductive and dangerously witty TORTE E MORT: Songs of Cake and Death. TORTE E MORT will run for a strictly limited season from Friday February 12, until Sunday 21.

Anya Anastasia is accompanied by Bec Matthews on percussion to present an electrifying live performance. We witness Anya's transformation through exaggerated iconic archetypes in the feminine form, deftly evolving through characters from Marie Antoinette to a feisty she-devil. The show explores decadence, pleasure, hedonism and sardonically unfolding reflections upon potential earthly consequences.

Though dripping with satire, TORTE E MORT unashamedly celebrates all these extremes of the psyche and humanity, leaving the audience to work out a warning, which was an invitation to indulge in extreme behaviour.

Anya Anastasia has performed her original shows in Prague, Berlin, and around Australia and New Zealand to rave reviews, and inspires a cult-like following. "Forget commercial comedy and half-baked theatrics. This is Fringe at its wild and spunky best" Sunday Mail, 'an exquisite hour of cabaret' The Plus Ones, 2015 'You should know this if you didn't already: Anya Anastasia is a major, major talent.' Stage Whispers, 2015.

Anya's latest show has been directed by two iconic mainstays of the Melbourne cultural scene, Helpmann and multi-Green Room award-winning performer Sarah Ward (Yana Alana), and devisor of circus and physical theatre, Sue Broadway.
