MEDIATHEK

To celebrate the conjuncture of its 10th birthday and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, LUCKY TRIMMER introduces for the first time ever a themed evening packed with a waterfall of World, European and German premieres. The result is a choppy and adventurous journey with 8 stopovers. This time on board of the creative ark are deep rooted origins for prejudice and division, forces that are imposed on us, a reflection on what constrains or frees us, a cry for equal rights, political statements and social criticism as well as a strife for togetherness and unity. 

/ TANIA GARRIDO MONREAL: ETZEV[LABOR] /

How deeply rooted and culturally ingrained is the etiology of division?

TANIA GARRIDO MONREAL opens the evening with her award-winning solo Etzev[lab]. She explores the constraints on us - coming from outside and from within ourselves - that keep us coming from outside and from within ourselves - that keep us trapped as if in a spider's web.
