Description |
The third and final part of the Raw-Matters trilogy creates a shift from personal to global. Themes of the performance include power, equity and deprivation. The group has asked itself: "Under whose power am I?" and "What kind of power do I have?" The elements of the performance include war statistics, breakdance, documentary videos of Moscow, Helsinki and Chechnya, Lappeenranta rap, 70s disco dance and John Oswald like musical chaff. In a process of going out of one's own comfort zone, the group aims for dynamic imbalance and an unpredictable outcome by deliberately giving up control. Unconventional finnish choreographer Arja Tiili and controversial finnish visual artist Teemu Mäki act as dramaturges of the performance. The performance is a demonstration of the full production, sceduled for premiere in summer 2011. |
