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.
