“…Magical realism, as she floats on the water.” (Den Helder Actueel)

Is it the wandering ghost of a lady, or maybe a Siren? Floating in a huge ball gown of umbrellas and propelled by two graceful water lackeys, a soprano enchants the audience by singing popular arias by Mozart and Puccini. As night falls and it gets dark, the Diva will appear in a light costume. As a wisp she floats on the water, creating a magical effect.

The Floating Diva is a short musical act performed in a dress made out of umbrellas floating on the water worn by a soprano and propelled by 2 swimmers wearing shark vin headdresses, devised and designed by Victorine Pasman. The main singers are
Brigitte van Hagen and Frédérique Klooster.
The umbrella dress costume was made in 2005. The performance in its current form, with the white dress and illuminated version was developed in 2015.
It has so far delighted audiences at festivals and events in the Netherlands (Lowlands, Oerol, Solar, Gergiev Festival, Festival Classique), Germany (Musikfestspiele Potsdam), Belgium ( Festival of Flanders), France (Festival du Périgord Noir), Denmark(Danmarks Internationale Gadetheaterfedstival), Austria (Olala Festival in Lienz) and China (Wuzhen Theatre Festival.
