Selfie
was born last Halloween when I was asked to do a show that can fit the party
mood (not like the more ambient, exhibition style I did before), so immediately
I thought about a freakshow clown.
Selfie
try his best to be a happy clown, but
it's really hard for him, and he's not always know how he should act & how
to be funny, that’s put a lot of stress on his mind, and being unstable to
begin with, that stress makes him to do some crazy stuff.
Selfie
goes to a journey of searching thru pain, penetration, excretion, stretching,
lifting, turning & twisting of the human body. What will he find out?
For the
obscene extreme I make a special show of Selfie The Clown, it's going to be extrem & brutal. There
will be also a special soundtrack for this show made by great friends Bands
from the local (or related) punk/metal
back home. With awesome bands like: Shchurdistan, Har, DisDisaster, Bat Haim
Haktana, TamutAmen, G.O.M, Righteous Tombs. & more.
that we also going to release on a cd.
About
FREAK-A-HOLIC:
Freak-A-Holic
is Agol (orsula) toeva, 28, from Tel-Aviv, IzraHell.
A lot of
people ask me how a person start to do what I do.
So
I guess its start somewhere in the childhood.
I
remember saw this kind of stuff in shows like Ripley's belive it or not or the
Guinness world records. Things that scare, disgust, or just wasn't
understandable to other people attract me, I wanted to do that.
I
remember my first experiences with this kind of stuffs. Playing with my body,
it was like the first times you masturbate. In my parent's house, look to see
everybody is busy in the Livingroom or the kitchen, sneak into my room, lock the
door and start. Trying to pierce myself, nail my nose & even eating glass.
Of course I didn’t succeed nothing at first. To learn this stuff takes a lot of
time, experiments & pain.
When I
was a teenager there was already internet available at home and I discovered
BME site there I learn more about freak/side shows & discover the art of
body hook suspension & a lot other stuff that was my taste. When I was 18 I
suspend and start to have the idea that that kind of stuff its what I want to
do.
My first
performance was at 2007 in a Tel-Aviv fetish & BDSM club. Since then I
performed rarely under different names till 2014.
At 2014
I started to perform under the name Freak-A-Holic anonymous, taken from the
song by Egyptian lover. One day a friend told me, I find a song about you, and
its catch, after some time the anonymous
dropped and I stayed with the name Freak-A-Holic.
Since
then I started to perform more &
more.
In last
January I launch the lo-fi life DVD, that is kind of a demo DVD with lo-fi
videos and pictures I had from 2014-15.
At last
march I went to perform outside of IzraHell for the first time and made a
little tour in Barcelona and Berlin, with the show Excramental Regression that
I do with my friend Tiny Tramp & with Selfie The Clown Show.
In
Israel the alternative scene is small and its hard to find places for my kind
of performance.
To
perform a lot to the same crowd made me
to do a new show every time & its developed me a lot. But now its time to go
out and perform outside of Israel.
To
perform in Europe was great. I've been in some great places & meet some
great people but it was also hard some times perform in hard conditions and
hard weather, some times no place to organize one time the music didn't work so
I learn a lot about improvise. And that for sure an important lesson for a
performer. I will end this by saying I'm really happy to come back to Europe
and of cures very much excited to perform at the obscene extreme.
