One Greek-woman show: Marika sings arias in her opera based on the tale of 'Sleeping Beauty'. She creates vocal primitive sounds in avant garde style - 'channels both Maria Callas and Janis Joplin' (Herald Tribune<).

Marika Klambatsea... Singer  soprano. Composer and Pianist takes the earliest  version of Sleeping Beauty - Sun Moon and Talia from 1634 by the Naples writer and collector of oral delivery Giambattista Basile.

In the story added piecemeal and part from the poem of the American poetess Anne Sexton  “Briar Rose”  (Sleeping Beauty)

She creates a beautiful lyrical tragedy in  “ Arachne  in Si Bemol”. This performance is  as a second part of her Performance Snow White and the seven scars  of  Giambattista   Basile. It was supported by the Arts Council 2004 and she performed with in Fringe Festival at 2006

ais2.jpg (20851 bytes)In “ Arachne in Si bemol”  this  all –female show, the 17th century text is captured through expression in original vocal, and piano scores, Cello and percussion. Marika makes the journey of  Sleep –Death  with  her music  in parallel with  Talia   Sleeping Beauty of the tale  on a path that runs from her adolescence to  her adulthood  using  very often the bitter Parody

She sings with continuity of her body the twin marionettes   Sun  and  Moon   twin children of Talia s (Sleeping Beauty of this tale). She revives the magic and at the same time the cruel atmosphere   of the story while bringing to the surface the complete mental timeless background

"Marika  creates one of the most anguished avant-garde cries of our time Channels  both Maria Callas  and Janis Joplin" (International Herald Tribune)
