“So You Think You Can Dance” is Unholy Trinity’s debut as choreographers. The performance is inspired by the multi-Emmy winning dance show of the same name. In the emulsion of the fictitious and the real world, the artists together with the professional dance teacher Birgit Plaser are looking for reasons why the dance scene is fragmented. An entertainment simulation is created in the performance space, which encourages the audience to practice empathy: “How do you find interest in what seems wrong, boring or pointless?” During the academic hour, the performers become presenters, guests, judges, contestants and technicians. The viewer has the opportunity to experience a tragic success story.

The creation of the work has been influenced by the thoughts of thinkers Michel Foucault, Bojana Kunst, ABBA, Jean Baudrillard, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Michael Göbel, Kai Valtna, Raido Bergstein, Birgit Plaser, Kärt Koppel, Daniela Privis, Annabel Tanila, Stefano Mattozzi, Mikk-Mait Kivi, Kristel Zimmer, Kärt Kelder, Ziwe, Fumudoh, Krõot Kiviste, Markus Monak, Janet Jackson, Laura Sinimäe, Samira Elagoz, Ruslan Stepanov, Jengi, Billie Eilish (will be updated)

Unholy Trinity are three budding and mediocre dance artists who won’t shy away from anything. They dare and want to try what they have never tried before, test what they are afraid of, strive not to repeat themselves and experience in order to share. Getter Jaani says: “Life is a theater!” and Unholy Trinity signs this quote. If not as dancers then as certified dance teachers. Unholy Trinity is Annabel Tanila, Daniela and Kärt Koppel.
