KOSMOS –REUNION
Premiere 17.10. 2023 Dance House Helsinki more shows on 19,20,21
What kind of expressions for the movement of imagination, mysticism and playfulness can be found in the moment of the performance?
Three performers move between contemporary, historical and futuristic myths. The performance studies the relationships between individuals and communities and our relationship to the cosmos inside and outside of us.
The work is part of Dance House Helsinki’s SPARKS project. Supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, SPARKS is an artistic development project which will produce three premieres for both the Erkko Hall and Pannu Hall.
Research
Polyphonic composition, reunion and gathering are concepts from anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing and her newest book, ‘The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins.’ In the research phase, I have been reading a broad channeled material called ‘The Law of One’ that is dealing with cosmos, it's arrangement and its inhabitants.
