| Description |
"Riikka Theresa Innanen and her team invite the audience to become part of While Riding the Path..., without being interactive in a traditional sense. The work takes the audience on a journey into dreams, perceptions, poetry and prose. 'I hope the work awakens the spectators' senses, to smell, taste, see and feel. The aim is not to overstimulate, but rather to heighten the senses. The performance can happen in the audience members themselves.' The working group has worked with the process and with somatic body methods for the last year and a half. " (Source: programme) |
