Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir, singer for the band Ske and a young and unknown actress, and Gaukur Úlfarsson decided to invent a character that brought out all the worst elements of human behaviour in modern society. Silvía's personality is highly affected by narcissism and she sees herself as the most famous and talented person walking on the planet Earth.
It took a while for the Icelandic audience to realize that Silvía Night was a fictional character and not just a mad woman in search for attention. The actress, Ágústa Eva, is more often referred to as Silvía Night than with her real name.
During her presence in Athens, and according to her role's character, Silvia behaved provocatively and rudely to technicians and journalists, calling them “fucking amateurs”. In addition she was particularly mean shouting on stage "Fuck you, you fucking retards". The participants, not knowing that Silvia Night was actually there in a performed role, mistook her behaviour for real, not to mention that the phrase "fucking retards" was misheard for "fucking Greeks".
And here is nice clip about her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snG2V-PtpB8
To me it was obvious that she was acting. I don't know why so many people don't have the humor to understand this!
