Mata Hari In 8 Bullets

Award-winning chanteuse Onalea Gilbertson conjures a fever dream into the heart, mind and soul of Mata Hari exotic dance and courtesan, whose scandalous career took her from the bedrooms of the aristocracy to the mud soaked trenches of No Mans Land.

An international sensation- Mata Hari went from being the most desired woman in Europe to its most despised when she was arrested by the French for espionage. She was sentenced to death by firing squad on somewhat dubious and flimsy evidence.

A mesmerizing performance and electrifying score transport us back to the salacious salons and sinister cabarets of Imperial Europe – to a time when society, incapable of recognizing its own shadows, projected its darkest impulses and fear onto one woman: Mata Hari- Mistress Of The Kama Sutra. Mata Hari High Priestess of the Temple of Love. Mata Hari The Most Notorious Spy In History?

One of the 20th century’s most misunderstood women gets her chance at redemption in this one woman tour de force. Conceived and Composed by David Rhymer.
