   This is a sample version
   with live camera recorded sounds. 
   The music in the show was composed and

  An extraordinary fashion show of
  CLAUDIA SKODA 
  and 
  TABEA BLUMENSCHEIN
  
  at Berlin Kongresshalle
  (now Haus der Kulturen der Welt, HKW).
  
  
  Ignoring the classic "catwalk" style,
  a dark room with red wire fences was created: 
  sculptor  »JÜRGEN SKODA built
  CAGES
  in which the models
  presented the pieces of 
  Claudia's and Tabea's 
  1979 collection
  
  mimicking exotic birds!
  
  The fences kept the audience in distance whilst
  
  SALOME and LUCIANO CASTELLI as "GEILE TIERE"
  roamed the space
  together with "TWO BIRDS"
 
  (performing dancer duo EMU from Paraguay)
  
  to the stunning sound collage 
  "BIG BIRDS"
  written for this show and performed live by
  MANUEL GÖTTSCHING
  .
  
  
   This film was screened as part of a multimedia show
      to honour Claudia's live achievment
   as a fashion designer:
