“Magdalene” is an extremely personal Album. What’s the connection to Mary Magdalene, the biblical figure, after you named it?
I was interested in this archetype for a woman, a virgin whore, or Holy prostitutes. A woman who is both pure and good as well as sinful, and mysterious. The modern society urges us to tend to one of the two roles. I think that’s dangerous to the female Psyche, we are ultimately always both.

we Are the?
Yes, mother nature creates life, you destroyed it, that is where our magic lies. The most we are, if we combine this duality in us.

The themes of destruction and renewal are on the “Magdalene” of Central. In addition to a relationship end, you had to process in the five years since the debut album “LP1” is also a uterine surgery. You say that you had to invent your femininity at the time, new.
The Uterus is, for obvious reasons, a tremendous source of strength, but we hardly speak. I couldn’t understand how me, this engagement from the railway had thrown. The Dance was very healing for me. It is generally speaking, and in virtually every Form.

For “Magdalene”, they developed an extremely sophisticated Performance concept, you learned how to do that Pole Dance and the Chinese martial art of Wushu. Coming back for you with the physical, the mental strength?
Yes, if I was physically in the handle, grounding me emotionally. On a normal day I’m three hours in Pole Dance and in the Martial Arts Studio. After that I stretch into the night in front of the TV. However, I also feel just free, the better I master my craft.

In the short film “Practice”, you declare that you want to change the cultural DNA. They believe that they succeed, respectively, already succeeded?
I think that’s it, Yes. What I feel, reached the people. My words and movements, you seem to understand that you are just like me. And so, you but community, or?

create Links in a time in which all the world seems to be uprooted. You see yourself as a visionary?
I don’t know. We must listen to all, if the universe is trying to say something. Those who do not follow the Omen, brings in a mess!

Easier said than done! Where can you find Stop, if the orientation is missing?
When I feel lost creatively, look back I was in my Childhood. I think, since everything is, what I must write.

As you are in the music industry?
I don’t feel as a part of it.

to what Extent?
The money is not what drives me. My point is that I can share my Vision. I am lucky to be surrounded by those with to support me. At the end you can decide what you want, even in career. If something feels good, go after the thing. If not, leave it.
