KTC PRESENTS DA LULU

Imitating the affectionate appropriation of harsh terms (as with the series lunatic > loony > lulu) and referencing both the academically acknowledged “delulu” and the original Greek title (ΤΟ ΛΩΛΟ—“to” as in “tomato,” “LOL,” and an “oh!”), DA LULU addresses deviation from the norm, the fragile edge of mental sanity, the in-between state that stretches from “doing alright” to so-called madness. But as absurdity seems to rule, who could be fit to fix the norm ?

An extravagant character wanders on stage, looking for an identity, a place to be. As they turn the mirror towards us, we wonder at the grandeur and the ludicrousness of the human experience and get lured into an absurd celebration where fantasy feeds reality, and vice versa.

A decade after Recital, KTC returns to the dancefloor with a solo(lo) / manifesto shouting out what really matters, on stage and in life. An invitation to connect, have fun and enjoy togetherness.

Long live DA LULU, you and your dreamy delusion
In the world’s foolishness, you find a rhyme and a reason !

KTC (KammerTanz Coop) is a platform where dance meets comedy, sewing, and live music. It was founded in 2011 in Athens by Pierre Magendie and Christina Karagianni. KTC serves as an impetus  for performances (Potpourri, 2012 / Recital, 2013), performances (A Zombie Techno Celebration, FYTA x ASFA BBQ, 2018) and videos (ASS147, 2017 / AW178, 2018). In 2025, as part of the coming times symposium by the independent curatorial platform undercurrent, the sewing performance TANK TOP ushered KTC into a new era.
