SCORES THAT SHAPED OUR FRIENDSHIP

What does it mean to get involved with a person who has completely different prerequisites than you? In ‘SCORES THAT SHAPED OUR FRIENDSHIP’, Lucy Wilke and Paweł Duduś measure and celebrate their relationship in the shape of a tender pas de deux of touch. Kim Ramona Ranalter a.k.a. Kim Twiddle plays and mixes live music that oscillates between meditative sounds and club tunes. The production was invited to the Theatertreffen Berlin 2021 and was awarded the German Theatre Prize DER FAUST in the category Best Performer, Dance in 2020.

The actress and singer Lucy Wilke was born with spinal muscular atrophy and uses a wheelchair, the dancer and performance artist Paweł Duduś describes himself as a queer migrant feminist. Together they have developed an intimate, utopian portrait of their friendship that breaks down boundaries. In a humorous, gentle, very sensual dance, Wilke and Duduś explore what one`s own and each other’s bodies are, how we see, hear and feel them, while at the same time questioning stereotypes and normative perceptions in society and culture. In seven short chapters, the performers expose themselves to the eyes and ears of the public and meet the audience with an unconditional intimacy. `SCORES THAT SHAPED OUR FRIENDSHIP’ respects diversity, celebrates the non-normative and offers insights into an alternative way of living and being.

What the press says:

“Small, trend-setting work (…) that explores a friendship in an atmospherically dense way.” (Night Review)

“A deeply intimate evening, at once touching and full of joie de vivre.” (Tanznetz)

“An evening about closeness, acceptance and devotion, a tenderly relaxed pas de deux of touches and micro-movements, which rather incidentally also questions our normative vision.” (taz)
