My act “Impressions: Femme Fatale” is based on the infamous Mata Hari. Portrayed by Greta Garbo on the silver screen as a temptress and WWI spy, Mata Hari was a complex and contradictory concoction, but always a commanding performer, and a constant spinner of stories about who and what she was. I am inspired by who Mata Hari was at the start of her career in March 1905. At the same time, I am imagining what a more mature Mata Hari might have created had she survived the unfounded charges of espionage and made it to my decade of life, sometime in the 1920s (and learned dance trapeze).
