Schulthess goes to Berlin
Since 2003, the cantons of Central Switzerland have been offering artists from various disciplines the opportunity to spend four months in Berlin. Lucerne musician Karin Schulthess will also benefit from this in 2024.
As a performer, percussionist and founding member of the formation "Lauter Luisen", Karin Schulthess (*1969) sets contemporary poetry from the German-speaking world to music, according to a press release from the Canton of Schwyz. During her studio residency in Berlin, Karin Schulthess will develop and set new texts to music and would like to trace the tradition of German chanson and cabaret.
She is fascinated by interdisciplinary projects and intends to develop the fourth full-length program of "Lauter Luisen". Karin Schulthess also wants to "create space for new and unexpected things, to immerse herself in the Berlin scene(s), in this pulsating metropolis with its different cultures, its music and its rhythms".
In addition to Karin Schulthess, Lina Müller, illustrator and visual artist, Canton of Uri, and Béla Rothenbühler, author, Canton of Lucerne, will receive the studio grant in 2024.
