Art meets dance: Artificial” inspires in the Lübeck Dance Forum!

Wonderful combination of dance and art

On October 17, 2025, art and dance lovers will stroll through Lübeck, because the eagerly awaited dance piece “artificial” is on the program at the Tanzforum Lübeck. After a successful revival premiere on October 3rd, things will continue to be touching and emotional. The four talented choreographers, Shiao Ing Oei, Ulla Benninghoven, Olivia Shoesmith and Tommaso Balbo, provide an exciting framework with individual approaches and suitable music. Lübeck-verliebt.de reports on the clear movement language that captivates the audience.

What is special about this piece is the successful combination of performing and visual art. Viewers can look forward to strong images and emotions that enter into a dialogue with historical works of art. The dance of death from St. Mary's Church is translated into a new dance language and the figures from 1463 come to new life. The artistic framework is completed by a scene inspired by a painting by Fritz Winter from the Kunsthalle St. Annen. Works by Lübeck artists Evelyn Wisbar and Hildegund Peters can also be seen, giving the evening an additional local touch. Tanzortnord.de emphasizes that these impressive projections bring the paintings to life and that the actors embody them with their dance.

An evening full of dynamism and creativity

The TanzOrtNord ensemble promises an evening full of expression, dynamism and creativity. The soloists, including the already well-known dancers Kim Tassia Kreipe, Olivia Shoesmith and Tommaso Balbo, as well as the new dancer Lukas Bisculm from Switzerland, ensure that the audience remains captivated from the first second. The evening promises to be an emotional and dynamic journey that will captivate the audience.

For everyone who would like to get a place at this dance event, the following performance dates are available: October 4th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th, 2025. The performances take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. and Sundays at 5:15 p.m. Admission begins one hour before and drinks can be purchased on site to round off the evening in an atmospheric way. Tickets are available both in advance and at the box office. Prices vary from 12 euros reduced to 29 euros for supporters, keeping the experience accessible to many. Tanzortnord.de also provides information about accessibility by public transport and parking options nearby.

Events expand the cultural landscape

But the dance piece “artificial” is not the only highlight that Lübeck has to offer in the coming period. The “Up To Dance” initiative has also been providing fresh impetus to the art and culture industry with various shows, festivals and workshops for over 35 years. “Up To Dance” regularly organizes events and projects such as “All Colors Dancing” – a dance video campaign against racism – and has made it its mission to sensitize people for peace and democracy through art. The joy of movement is very important here. More information about the next events and ideas can be found on the website Up To Dance.

With this in mind: Perhaps the upcoming “artificial” dance evening is the perfect opportunity to experience the creative diversity of Lübeck and to be carried away by this special interplay of dance and visual arts. Whether locals or visitors – everyone is warmly invited to enjoy this evening at the Tanzforum Lübeck.
