Welcome to Backstage with Richard Ridge
0:02
The award-winning Indigo Twins are returning to New York City with their cinema musical called Wicked Clone
0:09
which will take place on October 30th at the Black Box here at the Playboy Club
0:13
where I drop by to catch up with them about the big night. So, I am thrilled to be sitting with both of you here
0:25
at the gorgeous Playboy Club. Now, first, I have already mixed you two up already
0:29
They are twins. They are the Indigo twins. Now, which is which? I'm the Wicked Clone
0:35
And I believe I was born five minutes earlier than my sister because I was the first conceived
0:41
So I would be the queen to rule. Okay. But definitely my sister is five minutes older, so I always take her intensive classes of wisdom
0:52
But who's who? I mixed up your real names. So today I'm me. I decided. Yes
0:56
And she's just Mihaela Modorja. I have to tell you something about my sister
1:02
Okay. Because she cannot, it would be really not modest to speak about herself, you know, herself
1:08
And so, Mihaela is definitely my idol and my inspiration. She's the author of Wicked Clone or How to Deal with the Evil
1:18
Okay. It's a magic release novel of 500 pages. It's a spiritual journey about overcoming our wicked clone, our tycoon, our hindrances, fears, past, ego
1:29
and reaching our greatest purpose in God. So it's truly a divine waterfall of goodness and light and love
1:35
that I would recommend anyone to read. Because in this society that is so full of mediocrity
1:43
and social media, superficiality and violence, I think innocence is what we need
1:51
and getting closer and closer to God and finding our greatest destiny
1:55
reaching that journey that we are taking, that might be harder, but we should never give up and follow that, you know, straight
2:03
path that is, um, that is being written for us. Beautiful. Now this is available
2:07
Oh my God. See, I just want to thank Riela for the amazing, like, um, press, uh, I'm her, I'm her press
2:14
agent too. Yeah. She's my greatest agent. No, she's been paying me a lot of money
2:18
I can imagine. Yeah. This is available at Barnes and Noble. Yes. It's available at Barnes and Noble
2:23
And let me tell you something about myself. Okay. Oh no. because I've always wanted to have my own act
2:30
This is Gabriella. Okay, exactly. It's a line from Roxy Mark. Chicago, totally. Chicago, yeah
2:34
I definitely try to create this alter ego, this monster that always is around the corner
2:43
shadowing our happiness. And yes, it's this wicked clone, which is the envy, the fears, the past
2:53
And it keeps obsessing us, but it's all about looking at that purpose and moving forward
3:01
So it's that forest filled with weeds and a lot of branches
3:06
but there's always a light, and that light is to be followed
3:10
This is just a very essential line of the novel, but it's very epic, like Dante Alighieri, like Faust
3:19
It's an epic fairy tale, magical. So it's definitely from, we had people coming from five years old to 109
3:32
Coming to your show. Yes, coming to our show. So based on the novel, Mihaela wrote a play
3:36
It's Shakespeare, it's in verse, and has a soundtrack, 90 minutes that I compose and orchestrate it
3:43
Okay, now I have to say a little bit about Gabriela. Even though she's a little bit monstrous
3:47
Monstrous. Monstrous. Monstrous. A monstrous. True. Monstrous. I'm monstrous. I'm still, she's fine
3:54
It's like the stress on man. Monstrous. The show is called Wicked Clone
4:00
Or How to Deal with the Evil. And it's a cinema musical. It's a new genre that we created
4:05
It's sort of a live movie. Yeah. That means it's a blend of film and musical theater spanning seven centuries from, do I speak too much
4:13
No. Yes. Okay. Go ahead. Spanning 7th centuries from 15th century Transylvania to modern-day New York and beyond
4:21
from the head of God to the tunnels of Lucifer and back to the mortals
4:26
So it's this live movie series genre. So imagine you go to a movie theater and you're seeing like a Chicago or your favorite movie
4:35
All of a sudden the characters come out of the screen on stage performing for you
4:40
coming to you, hugging you and taking you up on stage and they letting you go
4:44
and it's this immersive and second dimension experience, like getting people closer and closer to their higher self
4:55
Their higher self. So sometimes a screen is like a scenery, like a backdrop
5:00
Other times there are wicked clones dancing and singing with us. Other times, you know, there are the characters
5:06
And other times I wanted to, other times. Other times there are like pop-up all kinds of imaginary ghosts around us
5:12
their voices, their shadows or silhouettes. And definitely why should we... The narrator sometimes is moving forward
5:21
Why should we have barriers and not create something outside ourselves, outside of our..
5:27
Beyond our logic and imagination, I think it's the greatest thing. And we are so, so blessed from having that from God
5:39
I think it's our greatest gift. Your English is really good. Thank you
5:42
I'm doing my drill sheets. I did yesterday. I love this. I love drill sheets. I did yesterday. Yeah, I love the drill sheets
5:47
So my deep... R, R, R, R, R. Arangutan. We're going to put a rabbit in the back
5:55
Rabbit. Rabbit. Is it your rabbit in the show? No, in the back here
5:59
There's a rabbit somewhere. Yeah, there are a lot of rabbits around. A lot of money. Because we're in the Playboy Club where you're coming back on October 30th
6:05
We are so excited because the director of the Playboy Club William Sonnet he has a Shakespearean name I love his name and we love him too He in love with our show and he thrilled to have our
6:20
No, no, no, just saying the truth. And he was the one who has been committed to do this event here at the Playboy Club on October 30th at 8pm
6:31
So if you don't have the time, just make time because it's going to be a show
6:38
As James Jennings, the president of American Theater of Actors, where we had the show five times a week said
6:43
it's a mystical work of love and art, one of a kind show
6:48
Especially Gabrielle as the star of the show. I created this wicked clone
6:53
I love my part. It's sassy, it's sexy, but it's frustrating because she's a monster
6:59
She's like, who am I? So our story is the story of a vampire beaten by a human and injected with a virus of inspiration
7:07
So the show really highlights the immortality of the human being. That's exactly the true immortality, unlike any supernatural being, any vampire
7:17
So it's really this twist that turns the table on tradition. And yeah, the story of a vampire beaten by a human
7:27
Twins were born out of this like magical flower queen of the night and
7:32
obviously they had they were born with two rows of canine teeth when they sleep
7:37
is sleep with their eyes wide open but they don't have memories they don't have
7:42
dreams and they don't have the power of inspiration they cannot create you know
7:46
they can only imitate great geniuses minds like Mozart a bit of a so
7:50
Gabriella can imitate can play the piano amazingly but she cannot create something
7:54
of her own and when Mihajana pulls her fangs out and runs away, she gains the third fang
8:00
out and runs away. Why? Yeah, great question. People have got to come and see the show for that, right
8:06
You have to come and see the show. Exactly. Don't say it. But it's perfect for Halloween weekend something in this nature right to play here
8:14
Now, who choreographed the show? Did you do it together? Yes, we did
8:18
Gabriela is a tomboy. She's more hip-hop, street, jazz, more sassy one with twists and pops
8:25
And I'm more the ballerina with a lot of hip-hop and twists and undulations
8:33
My purpose in life is to get me... Can you be serious for a moment
8:37
She is. I am being serious. It's my charming nature, Gabby. Let it pop up
8:42
Pop up. So you both choreographed? Yeah, we both choreographed. I did more the ballet dance than the ballet
8:48
infusion and she's like the pa pa pa we always compliment each other and we come with our
8:56
own flavors so definitely I really believe that whoever doesn't have a twin should get one
9:02
or find it should order one online definitely what about the costumes these are beautiful
9:06
who designed the clothes? Miha designed the clothing I really don't like when exposing things
9:14
I'm really more about mystery but somehow that's how I didn't have enough material
9:21
But the material is cool. I love what you've done with all of these. Seriously. Oh, thank you
9:26
She's been sewing that all. She's been like knitting and sewing. I love so much to get inspired from nature
9:31
and to have wood and leaves and flowers. Yeah, and a lot of our costumes
9:37
we start with the La La La that was featured on Jay-Z and Kanye West and Watch the Throne, four-time Grammy-winning album
9:43
So our song La La La was featured on Murder to Excellence. How did they find you to put that on their album
9:48
Oh, so we used to work with Swizz Beat in his studio, with his team
9:52
And then after three years, nothing really happened with those songs. And one day, we received a call from Swizz
10:00
And he says, remember the song we did together, the La La La? And Kanye just popped up in the studio
10:07
He heard it and he said, whoa, what's this champion? I love it. I want it on our album
10:12
And it was only two weeks before them launching the album. So it was right like a miracle
10:18
And we were like, oh, my God, we're honored. So glad. They said, oh, you know, we've been working for you for love
10:24
And can you give it to us for free? And we were like, we just signed a deal with the music publisher
10:30
How about talking to him? Thank you. Click. Click. Yeah. Yeah. I want to go back to the beginning for a second
10:35
Growing up, did you both become creative at the same time? Like, what were your earliest creative
10:40
Oh, my God. Mihaela has been an old soul, like 100 years old soul from the very beginning
10:45
She started with poetry. One of these has her poetry. She also had the, she launched with Barnett and Noble
10:52
Wicked Clone or How to Get Reborn, the poetry. So she's been writing since she was 12
10:56
Like really, this visceral or visceral? Visceral. Visceral? Visceral. Visceral, like poetry, yeah, full of carnal force and passion
11:06
and this battle between God and Satan and all these kind of surges for God
11:12
She's my agent. Good evil. The good evil. So you were the first to start creatively, right
11:17
I was the bigger bottom line. So I've been suffering a lot in my childhood, you know, in Transylvania
11:22
And then there was my only liberation. So poetry has been my best friend
11:26
And, yeah, I could really restrain my vampiric instincts and guerrilla. But when did you get creative
11:36
Okay, so I got creative. I started playing the piano when I was like six years old
11:42
and elbow up, elbow up. I hated that. And yeah, that was like for seven years
11:49
And then I remember first we wrote a song, the first song when we were like 11
11:55
We went to this producer. We were signed under this label, Media Pro in Romania
11:59
And he said, you know what? This song is not so-so, but you know, let me record it
12:04
It was called I Learned to Fly. I Learned to Fly. So he recorded us and then in a couple of months
12:09
we heard our chorus on the radio. But it was sang by another band
12:14
But we never copyrighted it. But we never copyrighted it because we were really young and naive
12:19
But you've learned now. You have a music publisher, right? Yeah. We learned how to fly away from Romania So I have to say this whole thing Wicked Clone on How to Deal with Evil it a whole project So it a novel 500 pages
12:34
It's the play, the play in verse, the poetry book. The poetry
12:38
Oh, I have one more. You have one. Yeah, so this is the album
12:43
It has 25 songs. We released them with Broadway Records. And they all are in telling, I'm like God, Bite Back, Tell Me Less and Love Me More
12:52
Younger Than Yesterday These were all original songs All original songs that we wrote together
12:58
Mihaly's a lyricist and I orchestrated What about melodies? We wrote together the lyrics and melodies
13:04
And I orchestrated the songs And yeah Gabriela is my little Mozart
13:09
So she's definitely I definitely love to create Orchestrations with very symphony
13:16
Big, majestic And we are so honored to be in New York
13:20
So blessed because we really found our path. We really could compose all the time. We wrote
13:26
probably recently 1,000 songs and produced. And it's so amazing because in Romania and
13:32
in Europe, in Germany, we've been assigned a Sony BMG. We were always writing
13:36
but nobody was giving us the opportunity to be ourselves, to write from our heart what we
13:42
were always being given. Here we are really fortunate because we can
13:47
be ourselves and we created like really 100% heart and soul in all this album and
13:55
it's this tribal like beats with symphonic and also the very majestic chorus
14:01
it's like ABBA and Queen and but it still has that it's really important
14:07
to have that in a sense why don't you sing something for you
14:11
or for everybody for everybody oh yeah we're gonna do the number
14:14
on the stage here just a little bit to see but yeah I can sing something
14:18
too now right okay I'll sing a little bit from acapella, from the Bite Back, our composition, which we co-produced with Peter Zizel, who did Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne
14:28
He's thrilled. Yeah. He's a great producer. Yeah, so just two songs from the album we co-produced and co-wrote with Peter Zizel and The Fairy Skull we co-produced with Nick Herbone
14:41
Yeah. You think I'm easy, but I bite back. You think you're taking me, I bite back
14:52
You're gonna, you're gonna feel what I feel forever, ever You're inside of me, I'm inside of you
15:04
Vinou, vinou de noapte Vocea ta mă cheamă iar
15:13

15:26
Boy, a cappella too. So the album is available at Broadway Records

18:17
we changed. The human bite began to swell and my empiric swelling span
18:26
It's like a human virus that spreads inside of me holding fire
18:35
It makes me feel desire It makes me love That feeling that I heard but never felt before
18:47
I'm ashamed of how I used to keep these sores But I want to go back in those black extra face no more
18:52
I'm different now I'm half of a man Walking on this earth like a friend
19:03
The happiness of that I belong to another land
19:13
I need to escape all the way from myself I need to be saved in your own summer place
19:30
I'm half a man walking on this earth like a tram
19:39
But half a piece of that I belong to another realm
19:49
I need to escape Sister, sister, open up the window. Take this
19:58
I know you need to drink. Go away. Why do you keep suffering
20:03
Just sick and sick. You look strange and sick. No, I'm not
20:09
I'm happy. Last night, I wrote a poem about Mama. Before the human bite, I couldn't write
20:19
I had no memories, no dreams, no light. Leave those dreams to the weak
20:27
You need to drink. I'm afraid of my sister. She seems so evil and so different
20:39
My fighter told me you had one bloody life. You either gonna bite her or she said bite you
20:54
My fighter creed, gave me secreted hope, allowing me to see no one except for God and the little mirror from the foyer from where I could see my sister's bloody escapades
21:09
My two ropes of K-19 are my best friends. No man can handle them
21:16
My fighter brought me to various specialists, but none of them could find a cause or where those K-19 came from
21:24
My fans are my weapons. All men want to see women weak as suffering
21:32
I've always wanted to have a lot of friends. But not now
21:37
I've always asked. My dad told me, men are dangerous. Don't stay around them for too long in front of change
21:45
If you love men, they stick away. If you ignore men, they do everything to please you
21:52
But if you scare a man, if you scare a man, you always, always keep the word you want
22:03
I want your love. Love. Love. I don't know what love I've ever met here
22:08
I just want to have fun. Show my teeth. Give a bite
22:13
That's a great damn night. What for immortal teeth? What for them bearing weight
22:20
if I'm afraid to give a human kiss. I'm trapped inside a holy mortal body
22:27
that I just want to hide. I need something. Something to forget about the bloody nights
22:35
A kiss. A kiss to live. A kiss to live. Everybody knows that I was dead
22:51
I was cold last night wrapped in my bed But baby, you know it
22:58
You can bring me back Everybody knows that I was too Rose is falling down this time, my tomb
23:08
This is the answer, this is the truth Baby, you know that I am dead
23:19
Without your love, my heart is cold My breath is old
23:29
I need a kiss, a kiss to leave Everybody knows that I loved you
23:45
I would start apart just if you knew The day when you kissed him
23:51
You kissed me to death Everybody knows you turned away I can bring you back, it's not too late
24:01
Scissors are striking The love I'm this way See, say you're all that I'm dead
24:13
Without his love My heart is cold My breath is lost
24:23
I need his peace See, say you're all that I'm dead
