SYNOPSIS
LUCKY TRIMMER #19 presents seven inspiring new works including four fresh German productions for the spring installment of this beloved series. Berlin based artists Murielle Elizéon and Angelika Thiele premiere their latest collaboration “Waiting for Pablo”, embodying the social codes that subtly underly the practice of Tango Argentino, while proving their keen sense for the absurd. Irene Cortina González, another Berlin based artist, introduces her atmopheric solo work “p o l v o” (dust), a delicate study dedicated to time and therefore also to death. In addition, the 19th edition of LUCK TRIMMER showcases two shorts by artists who are warmly welcomed to the LUCKY TRIMMER stage for a second time. Simon Hartmann and Daniel Ernesto Müller are invited to show their bizarre twin studies “galactik twins”; while the multiple prize winning performer Maura Morales,
proves her extraordinary presence once again in a new solo work titled „Wunschkonzert“. In three more productions, performance artists from abroad will present their stellar talents for the Berlin audience. Luciá Marote from Spain performs her award-winning solo “The Foot”. In this piece which will be shown for the first time outside of Spain, Luciá embodies a short story written by her brother Andrés Marote to astonishing effect. Portugese based Lander Patrick introduces a duet called “Eggshells”, that won him Second Prize at last year’s “no ballet” competition in Ludwigshafen, Germany. “This is not a love story” is Lander’s telling statement about this work. Last but not least, Isnelle da Silveira’s performance once again adds to the stunning diversity of contemporary short dance works featured in LUCKY TRIMMER. For more than 30 years, the Belgian based Senegalese has graced countless stages across Europe. In April, Isnelle will complete the new LUCKY line up with a vibrant mix of vocals, rhythm and body improvisation. Once again, alongside the performances, the LUCKY TRIMMER e.V. organizers will bring together artists, programmers and other interested professionals for LUCKY SUMMIT # 4. In a casual and convivial atmosphere, the LUCKY SUMMIT provides an inspiring, open context for professionals to
meet, share ideas and build new bridges. This time around, proposed discussion topics will be (1) the radically changing landscape of performing arts with a special focus on Berlin and Germany, and (2) the specific characteristics of the short format in regard to its artistic development as well as its distribution.
