"Luck" by Aszure Barton - Focus On Creation '26 - Orsolina28 Art Foundation

Orsolina28 Art Foundation is honoured to welcome Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart for a double residency dedicated to the creation of the work “Luck / Unluck”, with world-renowned choreographers Aszure Barton and Hofesh Shechter. “Luck / Unluck” is a program that promises to leave a lasting gut punch: the choreographic duo is based on striking contrasts and playful tensions, coming together with poetic justice, with Barton taking on the theme of luck and Shechter tackling the unluck counterpart. In March, the company will come to Orsolina28 to play with Barton. To her, luck is the feeling of being alive: not because life is fair (it isn’t) but because it happened at all. It is wildly improbable that we’re here, that we arrive in bodies we didn’t ask for, thrown into systems already running. And still, we make something. Luck isn’t fair, it isn’t moral, it doesn’t reward virtue, but it gravitates toward movement. So, move. To create “Luck”, Aszure lives the work, researches, prepares and obsesses, with the dancers as the co-conspirators. She builds a collective forward momentum, each body expanding the field, multiplying the risk, creating more places for luck to land. A second residency in June will be devoted to Shechter’s creative process. The world premiere of the work will be at the Theaterhaus Stuttgart on June 26, 2026.
