Frances Barber stars as Billie Trix — icon, radical, existentialist, and complete disaster — in this bold and hilarious one-woman odyssey through the 20th and 21st Centuries. From post-war Berlin to the New York art scene, from folk duos to disco comebacks, Billie Trix has done it all — often naked, usually high, and always on her own terms. Drawing on her warped memories, lost loves, and chaotic career, Billie delivers a savage, surreal monologue that collides memoir, stand-up, and cabaret. Blending monologue with original songs by The Pet Shop Boys, MUSIK is a genre- defying exploration of fame, failure, and fierce individuality — wrapped in sequins and spiked with satire. At once riotous and poignant, this cult show returns as a filmed stage event that cements Billie Trix’s place in the pantheon of outsider icons. As she says herself: “I am music. Ich bin Musik. Without me, there is nothing.”
