River

This piece is a series of performances that will take place once a month during my last five months of pregnancy. It is a conversation, as well as an intimate way of looking at a process that can happen only a few times in a woman’s life, if at all. The process undertaken is the most instinctive way to create.

Concept & Performance by Sara Lu

Matthias Geserick - Double Bass
Leo Solter - voice, electronic sound generators and manipulators

Video Production - Elissa de Brito

Performance in Tatwerk Berlin and Bethanien Mime Centrum Berlin.

“Tú”

Let’s talk about what we couldn’t scream.

Violence against women in Spain remains a serious problem. Over a thousand women have been reported killed since statistics were first officially gathered in 2003. Last year, women reported almost 167,000 cases of domestic violence, while the courts issued more than 39,000 restraining orders.

13 years ago, what happened to me, It was part of what a women should accept as part of a relationship. Today, what happened is considered domestic violence. 13 years ago, nobody would have opened the door of the office for abuse. 13 years ago, what was considered “normal” took many holes.

“TÚ” is a small fragment of a body that survive, and all the words inside.

Premier , February 15th

Costuras

"Costuras" sets out to bring a sewn body out from the inside to share with the spectator and create an empathy towards it.
It is a journey into the internal feeling of being squeezed.
She always wore her old watch,
her hands were full of delicate wrinkles..... she sewed life...
this imprinted memory of her inside of me...

Piece develop in Motimaru Workshop and Theaterhaus Berlin Mitte.

Muletas

Concept & Performance Sara Lu Music Noiland (LIVE)
Lighting Design Jelle Stoffels

Nietzsche said: No artist tolerates reality - but I do think that, through pain, the artist transforms reality, recreate it, turn it into art. Inspired through a personal tragedy, Sara Lu created a piece of delicate suffering and astonishing softness inside the pain. A dance piece developed through one year of personal research and rehearsals gave birth to Muletas, which in Spanish means „crutches“.

I move you...
Your broken nerves
Your paralyzed emptiness
Your immobility
Your fear of the leaves
In the end—move the inevitable

MULETAS is an embodiment of Sara’s personal relationship to Poliomyelitis. When it was wet outside and they would walk together her father would say “Sara, move the leaves for me”. She advanced, “of course papa, you won’t fall.”
