| Description |
"Silentopia is an interdisciplinary event straddling arts and sciences. It offers a compassionate space within which to examine feelings aroused both by the ecocrisis, and our complicity in it. Dance theatre Sivuun Ensemble invites the audience to Revontuli-hall, where a ritualistic performance transports us towards transformation. Choreographer Ninni Perko’s furious, delicate, and sacred initiation rite visualises new worlds and possibilities by building bridges towards a brighter future. The whole working group -musicians, dancers, sound designer and scientists all participate in the performance, which takes place in a chapel of nature. The Earth’s supreme communal residents, ants, provide an alternative perspective. " |
