Description |
Meadow, meadow, meadow is a triptych by choreographers Elina Pirinen and Maria Saivosalmi, French-Palestinian performance artist Jassem Hindi and Irish theatre artist Ruairí Donovan. A dance that is an axe for the frozen sea inside us, relentlessly making ritual objects for a tribe that does not exist, a lingering sentence on one horse and seven hearts, a fanfare heralding a renewed ethos of intimacy. Together with lighting designer Heikki Paasonen, the heralds and a surprise ensemble founded for the triptych create a delicate avalanche of peculiar bodies, voices and landscapes. The weight carried is the perception of all that is essential for the human condition, like a slow storm in the solar plexus. Production: Zodiak – Uuden tanssin keskus, Elina Pirinen, Maria Saivosalmi, Jassem Hindi |
