Valentina Tóth - Fatal Flower

Fatal Flower

Fatal Flower is an ode to the hysterical woman. In this tragicomic, musical, and delightfully over-the-top one-woman show, Valentina explores the boundaries and clichés of the female image in society. Blending opera, theater, musical, cabaret, classical music, and comedy, she brings a parade of hysterical women to life—among them the Queen of the Night, a vengeful bride-to-be, and a strict Russian piano teacher (or is that her mother?).

And finally, when all these larger-than-life characters have exhausted their fury, Valentina steps forward as herself. Armed with extraordinary musicality, razor-sharp humor, and biting social commentary, Fatal Flower keeps the audience teetering between sympathy and bewilderment, either way, it’s a triumph.
