Trickster-p arises out of the encounter of Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbühl and is intended as an artistic research project which pushes at the boundaries of different art forms. Initially their research focused specifically on the centrality and physicality of the performer; as time went on, their focus has shifted from a more narrow definition of theatre to include expressions that transgress genre boundaries, both conceptually and formally resulting from the mixture of extremely heterogeneous artistic media. Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbühl’s poetics is an invitation for the spectators to open up their perceptive space and create their own reality on the boundaries between inner vision and outer sight. Among their works there are performances and installations which have been translated into many languages and have been presented in more than 30 Countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America. Along with the artistic work, Trickster channeled its experimental vocation by creating  "Casa del tabacco", a space of creation and experimentation in the village of Novazzano, few kilometers away from the Italian-Swiss border and current base of Trickster project. Trickster-p benefits of the support of Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council, Repubblica e Cantone Ticino, City of Lugano, LAC Lugano, Municipality of Novazzano and of many private foundations. In 2017 has been awarded the prestigious Swiss Theatre Award; they are currently resident company at LAC Lugano.
