The musical direction intentionally moves beyond the boundaries of classical burlesque, giving the act depth and a distinct character. This contrast is not softened — it is essential, creating a rare tension where beauty and intensity amplify one another.
La Fée Verte is chosen for events where not only visual luxury is valued, but atmosphere — one that evokes a genuine emotional response. It is not designed to be universal — and precisely for that reason, it leaves a lasting impression, remaining something personal, refined, and unforgettable.
Unlike the classic champagne glass act, which originated during the Prohibition era, La Fée Verte is a fully original work. Rather than reinterpreting tradition, Katrin creates a new form within the genre. The construction of the absinthe glass, its proportions, visual language, and dramaturgy were developed from the ground up and officially patented — making this act truly one of a kind.
Since its earliest days, absinthe has been surrounded by an aura of mystery, prohibition, and dangerous allure. Known as La Fée Verte — the Green Fairy — it became a muse for those who dared to feel more deeply than convention allows. It does not take one away from reality — it sharpens it.
In La Fée Verte, Katrin explores this state, creating not just a performance, but an atmosphere where refined aesthetics meet inner tension. This is not a playful act of seduction, but a precisely composed piece in which beauty, strength, and fragility exist in delicate balance.
At the center stands a large absinthe glass, around which the entire composition unfolds. Light, flame, movement, and the fluidity of the body merge into a clear visual language. No gesture is accidental — only precision, control, and expression.
The image of a performer within a glass has long been one of the defining motifs of burlesque — a composition built on illusion, control, and the aesthetics of forbidden allure.
Over time, this visual language has evolved, becoming an integral part of the genre’s identity.
With La Fée Verte, this tradition is not referenced, but transformed. Katrin develops an independent artistic direction, where classical elements are reimagined through a more contemporary, complex, and expressive form.
Here, burlesque moves beyond nostalgia and becomes something immediate and intentional — a precise, authorial work with a distinct and unmistakable voice.
