GIRL MEAT
According to legend, Countess Elizabeth Bathory is the most prolific female
serial killer in history. Drinking and bathing in the blood of her victims,
she tortured and killed hundreds of women. Intrigued by this true story, solo
performer Victoria Libertore channels Bathory's essence with intensity, a dose of
insanity and a hint of camp. All the while exploring why as a society we find
naked, twisted-up, bloodied bodies of women so damn fascinating.
Liza Emcees
A blue wigged, Technicolor, altered reality that captures the essence of the great
Liza Minnelli with all of her bravado, decadence and big, open heart. Off the cuff
and slightly inappropriate, this character is great for emceeing shows and interacting
with an audience or party guests. She tells jokes, takes her clothes off, puts them on
again, sings and climbs on things.
My Journey of Decay
In her newest memoir piece, My Journey of Decay, Victoria Libertore delves
into her extensive dental work with her trademark humor, aplomb and sensuality.
In addressing the audience and weaving movement through this work, she dives into
the universal truths of teeth and mortality. Libertore shares
with us why she blames Alyssa Milano for all the decay in her mouth and
how it's sometimes hard to feel sexy when you have visible decay.
The Should Dream
Conceived by Victoria and created in collaboration with Ryan Migge, invites you
backstage as an old vaudevillian illuminates the secret life of show people. Victoria
Libertore, aka Howling Vic, lip-synchs, shimmies and hula-hoops her way through
perverse, profane and saucy characters including the crone, prostitute and hedonist.
This is a 60-minute solo work.
stalk(her)
A 60-minute solo work conceived by Victoria and created in collaboration with
Kimberly I. Kefgen. A play about a woman's obsession with a wide array of colorful
people, including her Middle School Vice Principal and lesbian icon Peggy Shaw.
In stalk(her), Victoria Libertore says, "Sometimes the best relationships are the
ones where the other person doesn't know (about the relationship)." The piece is
addressed directly to the audience and incorporates choreography by Ryan Migge.
V-Ville
Created and performed in collaboration with Tony nominee (25th Annual Putnum
County Spelling Bee) Rebecca Feldman. Vaudeville with a modern twist. Rebecca
Feldman and Victoria Libertore seduce you into an exploration of life, love and
loss with them through slapstick, hula-hoops, burlesque, jazz and a few surprises.
Not advisable for children or the faint of heart.
Performance Work
Over a dozen three-to-five minute, character-driven movement pieces exploring female sexuality
and humor while combining the sacred and profane. This deep archetypal work is usually
set to music ranging from Nina Simone to the Eurythmics. The pieces vary from smooth
and sultry to loud, funny and outrageous. Often including a striptease and an element
of surprise, the work explores the underbelly or less accepted characters in our society
such as Goddess, masochist or crone.
Written Plays
A Man with a Limp, ten-minute noir play with an off-stage alligator and a drunk middle-aged woman attempting to seduce a young lost man with a limp.
How Crazy Joe Met His Wife, Mobster Joey Gallo goes to any lengths to get a gal to marry him.
Monster and Lola, ten-minute piece with a lost monster, lonely woman and unrequited love a la Remains of the Day.
