Orsolina28 Art Foundation welcomes Gauthier Dance and choreographer Hofesh Shechter for a sharing of their new work “Luck / Unluck”.

The result of two creation residencies of Gauthier Dance, as part of Orsolina28’s “Focus on Creation” program, this work is built on striking contrasts and playful tensions, where two distinct choreographic voices explore opposing yet interconnected themes. The first part of the project investigates the idea of luck and is led by Aszure Barton (who came for a residency in March); this June, Hofesh Shechter has instead taken on its darker counterpart: unluck.

To create this piece, Shechter has deliberately turned the rehearsal process into a challenge to fate, questioning whether the success of a creative work truly depends on superstition, habits or luck. What happens when an artist deliberately invites misfortune? The result is “Unluck”: a bold choreographic exploration where risk, doubt, and intuition collide, transforming uncertainty into creative momentum.

The world premiere of “Luck / Unluck” will take place at Theaterhaus Stuttgart on June 26, 2026.

In line with our values of inclusion and accessibility, all of our presentations are open to the community at no cost (reservations are required and all donations are welcomed).
