Lucky Trimmer is more than just a festival; it is a platform for unconventional ideas, bold experiments, and surprising perspectives in contemporary dance. Since 2004, the festival—now under the artistic direction of choreographer Raffaele Irace—has showcased both emerging and established artists and their idiosyncratic and often surprising works.

What makes the format unique: Each performance lasts a maximum of ten minutes. This time limit challenges the artists to distill their ideas to the essence—concisely, directly, and with great impact.
