LUCKY TRIMMER invites you on our latest journey through the creative landscape of international dance and performing arts. The 16th edition presents the German premiere of many of the pieces in this series, from award winning artists who tour on the world presenting their work.
LUCKY TRIMMER #16 includes pop-up tents with attitude, philosophical street dance, the tragic love story between a fish and a bird, gestural ways of dropping a brick, a Butoh interpretation of Nijinski's faun and even more surprises up our sleeve.
LUCKY TRIMMER promises to be an evening for lovers of multifaceted dance and performing arts, for adventurers and especially for those who keep looking onto our world with the curious eyes of a child.
