“Skrrt, Skrrt” was commissioned and premiered by K!ART on September 23rd 2020 at Christianshanvs Beboerhus, Copenhagen.
“Skrrt, Skrrt” is an ensemble work by Marcela Lucatelli, where meticulous pleasures meet a monumental elegy of bodily and instrumental horror, stripped by an off-beat attitude and unsettling sounds. From noise to trap, howling, world instruments, fragmentary stories and obscure music reinterpreted, Lucatelli makes use of musical processes governed by criteria of communicability from one reality to another. Together with K!ART, they have let themselves become submerged under a common ground between historically repressed cultures and the stigmatisation of bodily sonic expressions. Like the sound that is produced when a driving car makes a hard turn.
