Mr Pustra \ Who Is Mr Pustra?

“Vaudeville's Darkest Muse”, Mr Pustra is a performer, artist, model, musical saw player,

video artist, illustrator and art director with a background in Theatre and Fine Art. The

often strange and compelling character, Mr Pustra, is inspired by silent films and

performers of the 1920's and 1930's such as Anita Berber, Brigitte Helm, Marlene Dietrich

and Charlie Chaplin. A visually beautiful but often tragic character, Mr Pustra’s ability

to transform is fascinating and the artist’s highly distinctive styling, costumes and

theatrical vision evokes a decadent dreamlike world of melancholia and sepia-tinted

vignettes, inspiring other artists and eccentrics alike. Mr Pustra is neither a shock nor

extreme performer but has been described as a work of ‘Live Art’. From *Dark Cabaret to

Sideshow and Comedy, Mr Pustra’s shows are influenced by Circus Sideshows and American

Vaudeville to German Expressionism; Kabuki Theatre; German countertenor: Klaus Nomi;

Glam Rockstar: Jobriath and the wonderful art of Otto Dix; Erté; Degas; René Gruau; Henri

de Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Cahun.

Mr Pustra is a full member of British Equity.
