“Wickedly Funny… sharp, smart cabaret with bite” ADELAIDE ADVERTISER 2018 ?????
“the lovechild of Kate Bush and Tim Minchin” FEST
“a glorious romp” THE LIST
“ the comic delivery of Dame Edna Everage (darrrling)” THE HERALD

Award-winning musical-comedy maverick Anya Anastasia brandishes her razor-sharp satirical wit, to gleefully attack and dismembering perils of the modern world with an armoury of original songs. A futurist vision in white spandex and stacked heels, multi-instrumentalist Anya is a Gaga-esque judge, jury and executioner - tearing into the fabric of modern Western culture with her vocal prowess and trademark lyrical levity. Anya is this year’s South Australia & Adelaide Cultural Ambassador in Edinburgh, an accolade that comes with her award wins and with support from the South Australian Government.

Fresh, energetic and multi-dimensional – this is contemporary cabaret as it should be.

Interwoven soundscapes, lighting effects and onscreen visual design by Underground Media underpin themes of technological overindulgence and the algorithmic sensory tsunami in our everyday lives - especially that of our iPhone toting, Samurai slashing, socially-conscious heroine.

Alongside musical-partner-in-crime, Gareth Chin, Anastasia stalks the 21st century landscape launching thrilling attacks on ecological screw-ups, techno obsessives and self-congratulatory slacktivist keyboard warriors. ‘The Executioners’ is digitally enhanced millennial neo-cabaret, cutting right to the (funny) bone. And yes, there is a fight scene.

“Wearing your politics on your sleeve is scarier than taking your clothes off in front of people, and it's more controversial", says Anya Anastasia. “This show is a thrilling new vehicle for me- I’m using my craft to provoke the conversations I want the world to be having.”

“…fabulous; she’s like a flirty Tim Minchin in a gown” BROADWAY BABY ????

“…alluring and clinically insane. Her interactions with the audience are witty and sensual”
EDINBURGH FESTIVAL MAGAZINE ????

“…Inventive..cleverly composed, very well written, and delivered brilliantly - even when Anya is literally standing on her head!” VOICE ?????
“…Anya Anastasia’s voice is worth the cost of the ticket price alone. Fun, flirty, sweet and seductive”
