Focus - Dance in Luxembourg #1

Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg, a new institution in the support and accompaniment of performing arts.

Kultur | lx – Arts Council Luxembourg works closely with national and international professionals for the development, dissemination and promotion of Luxembourg’s Culture and Creativity in a wide range of fields: Architecture, Design, Arts and Crafts; Multimedia and Digital Arts; Visual Arts; Literature and Publishing; Music; and Performing Arts.

Our main goal is to help artists, creations and professionals from the Luxembourg cultural industry to thrive on international scenes through the implementation of dedicated support mechanisms.

The Luxembourg performing arts scene is multilingual, has many different influences and aesthetics, has long been open to the international scene and belongs to various creation and cooperation networks. Kultur | lx is part of this existing momentum and is at the disposal of international professionals to help them to better identify Luxembourgish creations and to establish new collaborations and channels.

20:00 – “Starving Dingoes” by Léa Tirabasso (Premiere)

Starving Dingoes plunges into the dreamworld of childhood; that of regained freedom, poetry, brutality and violence. It is the observation of the smallness or the depth of humanity without artifice, with a smirk, to forget time and quench our hunger for life.
The piece is a race for five dancers who, through the body and its language, explore the vital necessity, albeit brutal, to stay together. It explores our potential reactions to the dysfunctional element of the group; to repair it or sacrifice it in order to save the whole.

Léa Tirabasso
Léa Tirabasso is a choreographer and dancer who lives and works between London and Luxembourg. By creating bridges between dance, science and philosophy, her work explores without compromise the littleness of our beings. Her previous works include TOYS (2017) and The Ephemeral life of an octopus (2019), part of the Aerowaves Twenty20 selection. In 2016, she received the Arts and Letters Prize from the Grand-Ducal Institute of Luxembourg.

15:00 – “Dreamer” by Anne-Mareike Hess (open rehearsal)

The TROIS C-L will open the doors to the rehearsals of Anne-Mareike Hess’ new creation, Dreamer, which will premiere on December 17 in Neimënster.

Dreamer ventures beyond the thin border which separates the real from the imaginary and the felt from the fantasy. The Dreamer – a sensual embodiment of awakened femininity as well as a transparent surface for spectator projections – draws audiences with her voice and perpetual change of appearance into a surreal space gradually revealing patriarchal inscriptions in the female body.

19:00 – “Rouge est une couleur froide” by Sarah Baltzinger (Premiere)

Conceived as an allegory of anger, questioning the colour of red and its different representations, this creation evokes the process of identity transition and the ambivalence that exists in each of us. This new choreographic object takes the form of a quartet of dancers accompanied by a musical performance, all thought out in a singular performance relationship with the audience, in a two-front arrangement.

Sarah Baltzinger
Sarah Baltzinger began her career at 19 with Compagnie Totum (FR). In 2010, she moved to Spain to join the SEED’S training unit within the CobosMika Company. She subsequently worked with various choreographers: Jordi Cortès (ES), Elena Fokina (Ultima Vez, BE), Olga Cobos (ES), Peter Mika (SK / ES), Corinne Lanselle (FR). In parallel with her career as an interpreter, Sarah Baltzinger carries out her own choreographic work and interprets her creations between Luxembourg and France, which has placed her in cross-border roots since 2016.
