Lucky Trimmer

This Easter LUCKY TRIMMER comes prepared with a basket full of 10-Minute surprises: the performers bring to life the recollection of Twin Peaks, a completely new interpretation of Strauss’ waltz, take us on the boarder of slowness and duration and reconstruct the tragic end of Totilas at the Grand Prix of dressage riding. The evening comes to a close with a pop-art-anti-drama and with a solo that is intended to get underneath the skin.

SAMUEL LEFEUVRE opens the 24th edition of LUCKY TRIMMER with a monoLOG. Replicating the wellknown figure, the Log Lady from David Lynchs’ Twin Peaks, Lefeuvre wants to make the mysterious and unknown world visible through movement. The boarders between reality and fantasy will be displaced.

The Viennese waltz from Johann Strauss is, to a great extent, well known. DAGMAR DACHAUER investigates the historic epoch of its origins during the old Empire (1814/1815) in her piece, Wie soll ich das erklären. Through her body and there-with gained knowledge, a critical yet humorous reflection of national pride and of Austria’s careless years is revealed.

Over 100,000 years ago, the human painted its first known art-work on the walls of caves and unveiled the fundamental principles of our understanding of art. The human eye created images from the subconsciousness. Today these routs are long forgotten. The Berlin-based butoh oriented MOTIMARU Dance Company searches for an authentic epiphany in the world through Twilight, in which everything is bound with one another.

With a stride of grace and amenity, PAUL HESS poses a seemingly human question: who or what am I? The telling reportage depicts these reflective thoughts furthermore through humorous description: elegant, deep, shiny, rousing, belonging, etc. Developed from a live television recording, Totilas – the Rider, gallops to the tragic end of a memorable last riding at the Grand Prix.

The choreographer SOFIA KRANTZ comes with a powerfully packed piece for and with five women. A popart- anti-drama for the modern day feminist of femininity. This piece is not for the individualist, it is a ballad of a collective identity ready to strategize, fight, laugh, sigh and sing for the post-post dramatic – still Untitled – hysteria of the versatile stage.

Leaving the hysteria behind, boldness embraces the next piece as the choreographer ANTONIN COMESTAZ attempts to collect the universal rule of constant change and transforms this paradoxical consistency into an award winning and startling duet. With precise and enrapturing physicality, an all too human relationship takes place on the stage putting into question the patterns that play into our everyday lives. Changes may be constant, but patterns still reveal themselves over time: Then, Before, Now Once More.

As a show comes to a close, there is the acknowledgement of a cycle taking place; similarly the cycle of life and death is an almost habitual human thought process. NADAR ROSANO looks at the primal experience of these cyclical realities through the skin – our initial contact with life and with the world as we know it. Going through the layers, like the notions, Red Belt looks at the boundaries between the I and non-I and the lack of boundaries that inevitably get exposed through the senses.
