Klaus Nomi - Angel of Suburbia

Today is the premiere of a show named "Klaus Nomi - Angel of Suburbia" @ Dramatikkens Hus in Oslo, Norway.
Sadly - as todays show was sold out - I will not be able to see this show myself, but for those of you that are in Oslo the coming week, I suggest that you go see it.
The show is a tribute to Klaus Nomi written by Sven Henriksen, based upon the idea of Øystein Elle, and the concept is created by Øystein Helle and Karstein Solli.
All honor to them to bring fort such a great man - or a creative life force - that lived on this planet way too short. (More information regarding the show @ Dramatikkens Hus - Norwegian only)

Klaus Nomi (born Klaus Sperber, 24th of January 1944) was a great performer and musician that sadly died at the age of 39 due to AIDS in 1983, when HIV hit NY with full force.
As he was getting sicker and sicker, the doctors could not tell him what was wrong - have in mind that HIV and AIDS first was discovered back in 1981, and still was poorly understood at the time.

He was a countertenor know for his amazing scene performances, heavy make-up and special costumes as well as hairdo.
The debates have been hot under different clips on YouTube whether he was an alien sent to save earth o a divine entity of some sort. One thing is certain: Na matter who or what he was, he was an outstanding performer, and his time on earth was way too short. A gap is left that likely never will be filled.

Thanks to Øystein Elle, the show goes on, and his memory will arise once again, and I am sure a lot of people that grew up in the time Klaus Nomi started to get know, will have tears in their eyes and will look back to the time when this musical entity roamed the face of the earth.

My friend DJ Deadswan a.k.a. Reidar have written an article regarding this for the Norwegian LGBT magazine Blikk (Norwegian Only)

I'll embed a video where Klaus Nomi performs his version of the song "Cold Song" from Purcell's "King Arthur". This was one of the last performances he gave, and he was already at this stage dying of AIDS. If the audience knew, that I do not know. Amazing performance nevertheless!
