Nomi

A monodrama about ambivalence, about the incompatibility of two equally important desires – for understanding and for self-determined artistic expression. In Czech.

About what it is to be either too much or not enough, but never enough. About exclusion, perhaps a little bit of self-inflicted, but still just as devastating. About what it's like to be weird among the weird.

Klaus Nomi was born in Germany in the Bavarian countryside and was drawn to theatre and art from a young age. He sang about nuclear mutants with a German choppy accent. His performances included elements of New Wave, Kabuki and Bauhaus. Nomi's artistic career was relatively short-lived, yet he left a significant imprint on the pop-rock scene with his imaginative stage creations and large vocal range. The cabaret style he created is still imitated today. His stylization of the alien “element” is well known.
