#teddyartist: Jade Lee Petersen

He bends his body into virtually impossible positions: South African Jade Lee Petersen is one of the few male contortionists. He was discovered by the art pool BASE BERLIN, the first to bring him to Germany. In Berlin, he developed a rococo rock contortion performance with varieté producers Markus Pabst and Pierre Caesar. Before the audience’s eyes, multi-faceted images emerge between the person and his costume. The superlatively heterogenous elements of style blend together into a single unit, into the fascinating lines of a being effectively androgynous.

#teddyartist: Pierre Caesar

A master of the winds: Varieté director Pierre Caesar is performing again, set to float over the stage at the Teddy Awards. In a harness specially developed for him, he can defy gravity, flying as if on his own. He nails breathtaking double corks and triple somersaults with fascinating ease. Pierre Caesar displayed his bungee skills for the first time in front of Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Show. Now, he performs a new form at the Teddy Award. We believe he can fly!

#teddyartist: So Low Suicide

One day, the lead singer of ‘Call Me An Ambulance’ asked: „Is there a life after punk rock?“ Looking at suicide statistics of that genre, the answer was clear: So Low Suicide! Six years ago, a band was founded under exactly that name in Berlin. Ever since, So Low Suicide records singing birds, heart tragedies, dead celebrities and the dark side of wardrobes where our demons and angels are hidden.
