FIVE LINES

  • FrauTrapp
  • September 4th 2024
  • TATWERK | Berlin

„FIVE LINES“ is the new hybrid creation of The FrauTrapp Company. A new form of performing art named Micro Cinema Theatre, which combines theatre and puppetry, audio-visual art, and live music.

Scale models, acting, live music and audiovisuals come together to bring the story of a musician to life in a hypothetical dystopian world.
FIVE LINES is a multidisciplinary performance in which the various situations that the protagonist tells us through an off-voice can be observed from different points of view, thanks to the synthesizing power of the language of the micro cinema theatre.
A dystopian setting in which the earth, dying of climate collapse, pushes society to adapt by locking itself in claustrophobic spaces, sacrificing freedom in exchange for security. Love and the will to live will accompany, like a distant melody, the flow of this adventure in which we must find out if we still have alternatives in this life path.
In FIVE LINES we claim the ironic persistence of hope even in the toughest situations, which allows us to imagine and sometimes create better worlds.

The performance premiered in april 2023 in Barcelona‘s IX Puppet Festival „Rombic“

„FIVE LINES“ is a Spanish/Swiss co-production Between the FrauTrapp company and Bern‘s Schlachthaus Theatre.
WIth the support of: Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation, Ernst Gühner Foundation, Can Gassol Mataró, SSA, Interpreten Foundation,  Ateneu Nou Barris, Dätwyler Foundation.
The guest performance in Berlin is coproduced by TATWERK | Performative Forschung.

Biography

Mina and Matteo met in 2016 in a Micro-Cinema-Theatre workshop. Both were deeply fascinated by the „mini world“ that can be shown on the big screen and decided to embark on a journey together. Since then they have played together, created a street art show and together they manage the Can Pink i Boogie cultural center in Matarò (Barcelona).
„FIVE LINES“ is the show they‘ve had in mind to create for years and which finally sees the light after the crisis linked to Covid19.
In the years 2020/22, parallel to the creation, they continued their training, Mina in the field of scenography and sculpture and Matteo in music.
