As a versatile stage performer, Sascha Ley occupies a solid place in the Luxembourg art and cultural scene for years. The five-language actress, singer, composer and poet likes to follow unconventional paths – musically particularly oriented towards Jazz, Free Improvisation, imaginary folklore and contemporary music.
Parallel to music and drama she has devoted herself in recent years increasingly to writing and interdisciplinary performance.
Since the beginning of 2000 Sascha has produced several shows and albums under her label and Food for Thought Office yela music / yela muse.
She has been honoured a few times with awards and the status of Knight of the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for her artistic output.
Sascha is based in Luxembourg and works internationally.
“The vocal artist from Luxembourg, who also works as an actress and composer, is – if one may say so – without parallel in Europe … an extraordinary singer and musician in every way.” - JAZZ PODIUM (D)
"MI FRIDA explores the complexities of life and an artistic entity, always in the eye of the storm and on the razor's edge. A performance, that leaves nobody indifferent." A dance theatre collage, based on Frida Kahlo's life and myth.
A Les Théâtres de la Ville & KHN production
After our little tour in February and May, still overwhelmingly welcomed by the audience, we are ready for touring; that is the plan for the upcoming years. So please contact us for festivals or exhibitions around Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera!

"Sascha Ley is a multiple talent: actress, director, and of course jazz vocalist. In the duo with the French bassist Laurent Payfert, she designs a fascinating modern jazz with a multifaceted alto voice." JAZZTHING - Martin Laurentius
