My name is Count Binface. I am an intergalactic space warrior, leader of the Recyclons and three-time British election veteran. I'm 5695 Sigmoid years old, which is a good age for a Recyclon because we age like a fine wine, not like an Apple product. My hobbies include invading planets, dominating inferior species and an insatiable desire to binge-watch the Lovejoy box set.

Wedekinds narrative not only inspired the silent film Pandoras Box (1929), featuring the iconic Louise Brooks, but also influenced Alban Bergs opera Lulu, which premiered posthumously in 1935. The titular earth spirit, Lulu, is portrayed as a woman created to stir up great disaster, embodying pure sexuality that ...
