A solo piece by and with Victor Petersen
freely based on the literary work "Kiss of the Spider Woman" by Manuel Puig
Accompanied on the piano by Oresta Cybriwsky
Directed and choreographed by Timo Radünz
Luis Alberto Molina escapes from his dull, dreary prison cell into vibrant and magnificent memories and fantasies, ranging from opulent opera sequences to quiet reflections on himself. Nearly genderless, exaggerated, and always driven by the heart, he speaks to his cellmate, the prison guards, and his audience about himself.
His favorite role to play is the leading one in his show. His ONE WOMAN SHOW.
Victor Petersen's solo program "EINE FRAU SCHAU" (directed by Timo Radünz) premiered in the spring of 2015 at the Prinzregententheater in Munich and was awarded a distinction by the Bayerische Theaterakademie "August Everding" during its run.
After a tour through Lower Saxony (Germany) in 2017, "EINE FRAU SCHAU" was performed at the renowned Renitenztheater in Stuttgart.
"...a truly unique and absolutely brilliant musical theater event..."

Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung,
noz.de:
"...It is almost unbelievable that Petersen embodies these roles in the two-hour program [...] with a unique, virtuosic, and crystal-clear voice. His vocal performances, especially as a countertenor, are unparalleled and went straight to the audience's heart. With immense ease and extraordinary versatility, Petersen glided from one role to the next..."
Lingener Tagespost:
"...the entire, exceptionally brilliant production [is a] high-class artistic experience..."
Oldenburgische
Volkszeitung:
"...In his performance, he shifts expressively between
thoughtful reflections, powerful, captivating singing
and choreographed interludes. [...] With his demanding and
brilliantly executed production,
he captivated the audience."
