Luc/ie Vítková with Clementine

Lucie Vítková/Luc Vitk performs two recent solo pieces, Moonwalker and Water Vision, and a duo with Clementine.

Moonwalker is a new piece for one cyborg performer, moving and sounding, using mirror masks and lights, accompanied by feedback, balloon, voice, and synthesizer. The movement is determined by both the light reflection in the space and by the sound. The piece comes from an environment and reflects the relationships between all included media, participants, and architecture.

Lucie Vítková/Luc Vitk is a composer, improviser and performer (accordion, drums, hichiriki, synthesizer, harmonica, voice and dance) from the Czech Republic, living in New York. Their compositions focus on sonification, while in their improvisation practice Luc/ie works with characteristics of discrete spaces through the interaction between sound and movement. In Luc/ie’s recent work, they are interested in the social-political aspects of music in relation to everyday life and in reusing materials to build sonic costumes.

Clementine is an Asian American pianist and New York native, with more than 20 years of experience performing, writing, and improvising music. She draws on physical gestures and melodies to craft vibrant compositions. She finds salvation, in a world increasingly hostile to permanence, in the mercurial and androgynous.
