Martin Klukas
(b. 1988) is a performer and filmmaker known for a louder voice and pounding vulnerable movements. He spent the last two decades as an urban dancer, mastering the battle scene with losing so quickly each round that it is almost impressive. His artistic approach blends vulnerable expression with conceptual wit, challenging perceptions and transform experience. “I want to laugh at myself while remaining in a state of serious self-reflection. Honesty can be heavy and humor helps me to accept it.” Contradiction unfolds as choreography, challenging everyday life with sensitivity and subtlety.
