Programm:

Philip Venables/Ted Huffman: My favourite piece is the Goldberg Variations

Marcela Lucatelli: Drift

 

Marcela Lucatelli: Drift (2021)

The process with Brazilian-born Marcela Lucatelli did not last that long, but in keeping with the composer’s aesthetic approach, it has developed quite explosively: the first meeting was a conversation in the King's Garden, Copenhagen, the next one featured two and a half hours of intense, Brazilian capoeira training, and the third, found us on a deserted harbor filming footage of me in a cockroach costume and in high femme drag. Lucatelli has, in collaboration with lyricist Kirstine Fogh Vindelev, chosen to extract basic material from my own life's ''realness''. To drift: how much of the world is still pulling you around a future and what is it that makes you casually get away with it? Indecision, deviation and high speed. Navigating through a worldwide pandemic and the Great White Way of living.

 

 Philip Venables/Ted Huffman: My favourite piece is the Goldberg Variations (2021)

“My favourite piece is the Goldberg Variations” is based on interviews with Susanne Borregaard (mother of accordionist Andreas Borregaard) conducted during the summer lockdown of 2020. 

 

Andreas approached me about writing a piece involving extended performativity beyond simply playing the accordion. I was drawn to the idea of the accordionist as storyteller, almost in the troubadour sense. We met with writer Ted Huffman in Berlin to speak about Andreas’ own life and work, which in turn led to interviews with his mother over Skype. 

 

My work with Ted often uses verbatim text and this piece continues our exploration of queer histories. From this interview material, we formed eleven snapshots of a life over seven decades. 

 

The piece is dedicated to Susanne Borregaard with great appreciation for her contribution
