Calypso Cabaret Show Bangkok at Asiatique The Riverfront
Who are we? Better yet: what are we? And even better : what do we do?
CALYPSO is not a common >Ladyboy ShowLadyboy< .
We are neither ladies nor boys, but naturally born individuals, although different from the natural norm.
CALYPSO-performers are THAI TRANSGENDER ARTISTS. What we do on stage is unique. We do not just dance, do not just parade costumes and decorations. Our presence on stage is a SHOW OF INDIVIDUAL TALENTS , a whole language by its own. A meticulous balance of exclusive choreography featuring the individuals to their very best of abilities and the concept of highly valued class, style and taste.We lip-sync through 16 various performances, ranging from all-time favourite classics to up-beat and in-trend show tunes, suitable to open-minded audiences of all ages and nationalities. We engage BODY AND SOUL to this production and it has nothing and yet everything to do with being TRANSGENDER, because of who we are and what we do, is only what we, CALYPSO, can do.
We wish to welcome you, to witness A SHOW FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE PEOPLE, dedicated to the Art Of Entertainment.
About Calypso Cabaret
CALYPSO - since 1988 through out the year, two shows a day. Each show an audience of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Indonesian, European, American nationalities. Different languages, religions, traditions, attitudes, mentalities at CALYPSO. An impact, at times a clash of cultural weight is unavoidable. CALYPSO's female performers are transgender people, born as boys, morphed by their genuine need to live as a female, to look like a woman.
Transgender shows in general impress with look-alike performances, personnell lavishly decked with costumes, feathers, sequins. The individual human being disappears under the spell of décor and effect. CALYPSO's history is the constant effort to free us from that stereotype, to fill the stage with rigorously trained and educated, spirited free bodies and minds, with beauty and excitement of individual talents for music, rhythm and dance - never catering to clichéd expectations what and how a show should be. Passionately fighting prejudices with that purebred CALYPSO-mantra of quality: class, style and taste.
Calypso Cabaret constantly strip down decorations and costumes to the bare necessities. We minimize choreographic ambitions and create choreographies , which highlight the specific talents and abilities of our actors and actresses. We do not cater to any markets or fashions or trends. The overload and without any doubt the overkill of today's frenzies of the media world are verifying our concept of reduction.
Daily training of physical stamina , daily rehearsal of the current show and new productions , try to regain daily our motivation not to copy , not to reproduce the traded cliches and stereotypes.
