Baroness and Air Pirate

Created at a time when European popular culture was teeming with heroic criminal figures, Baroness Troixmonde alias "Filibus" occupies a special position. As a baroness, she is a respected member of good society and, in the character of Filibus, she wreaks her adventurous havoc from a futuristic zeppelin. Long before Marlene Dietrich, Filibus seduces dancing women in the role of Counts de la Briève as a male dandy, not entirely without criminal ulterior motives, of course. But detective Hardy is stubbornly on her or his trail... As a supporting film, we are showing an episode of the legendary American series "The Hazards of Helen" with Helen Holmes, who performed her own stunts and is regarded as a revolutionary in the industry.

The new international trio, which brings together three distinctive artistic characters in Argentinian singer Constanza Pellicci, Transylvanian singer, live electronic musician and cellist Réka Csiszér and Swiss live electronic musician and pianist Dadaglobal AKA Katharina Kabel, will present its new soundtrack for the first time at the IOIC Argentina Tour in Buenos Aires in December 2023. Beguiling vocals, distorted strings and synthetic corridors meet intricate rhythms.
