Description
“Black Dahlia is an evolving entity, as mysterious as the lone wanderer whose celestial journey she narrates here.” - Electronic Sounds Mag
“The Imposter is a surreal descent into identity collapse, distortion, and violent rebirth — crafted by one of experimental art’s most uncompromising forces.” - Fame Magazine
“...a theatre of dreams.” - EARMILK
“Black Dahlia isn't simply releasing music; she's building entire universes.” - Record of the Day
“Eccentric with a bold defiance of conventional norms.” - Post-Punk
For her only Australian performance before her departure to London, Black Dahlia follows the beaming light and invites us into the art pop world of The Imposter.
An experimental musician and performance artist, Black Dahlia blurs the boundaries between theatre, sound, and surreal spectacle. Her creations exist in dreamlike spaces where masks, characters, and worlds collide — flamboyant, avant-garde expressions that draw as much from performance art, mime, and surrealism as they do from music itself. Whether inhabiting strange personas on stage or building vast sonic landscapes, Black Dahlia conjures universes that feel both alien and intimately human, inviting her audience to step into the unknown.
Her acclaimed concept album The Imposter (via her imprint School of Dahlia) unfolds like a surreal stage play. Written, produced, arranged and performed by Black Dahlia, it follows a lone wanderer, The Imposter, who chases an enigmatic light away from a distant Paradise, only to find himself lost between realms, drifting through an interstellar limbo of time and strange encounters.
Black Dahlia will be joined by the wild artists Poltergeist 9000 and Solo Career.
Step inside, and let the story unfold.
