Marcela Lucatelli

— sobre

Marcela Lucatelli is hailed as one of the most innovative vocalists and composers of her generation. Born in Brazil and based in Denmark, Lucatelli has earned international recognition for her extremely original, sensuous and politically charged performance works. A critic once referred to her works as ‘scores for the limits of body and voice’. Another critic described her inimitable vocal performances as ‘inhuman human noise’. In 2021, Marcela Lucatelli held a seminar at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts on the topic of ‘Decolonizing the Voice of Sublimity’. In simple terms: stripping away the pretense. And, in her work, Lucatelli does exactly that. For Lucatelli, a stage is not merely a place for musical performance, but rather an arena in which the struggle for art, humor, and even life itself takes place. Lucatelli’s works are performed by vocal and instrumental elite groups such as the Danish National Symphony Orchestra (DK), Danish National Vocal Ensemble (DK) and Neue Vocals
