| Description |
My Dreams Are Not Afraid of the Dark A dancer, musician and poet work together to create a multi-art experience. They release words into the wind, take steps with their eyes closed, dance to the brown hares, wonder at the evening clouds. They count the grains of sand on the beach, the stars in the sky and wistful thoughts in the mind. Performed in Finnish, the work explores the kinds of resonance surfaces that words can create in dance, soundscapes and music. Do they struggle against each other, argue, comment, sparkle, or do they occasionally find harmony? The performance lingers in the moment, remembers the past and feels the future. It steps from the moss to the concrete and returns to the reedy shore. (The language of the performance is Finnish.) "On the way back, my mind meanders down a different route. Revealed from behind the trees, the wrong landscape pulls the path from under my feet and for a few seconds I fly free." – Pekka Kytömäki My Dreams Are Not Afraid of the Dark is part of the Moving Poems concept and series of works. The Moving Poems is an ongoing concept created by dance artist Hanna Korhonen in 2018. In this concept, contemporary dance and soundscapes are created for contemporary poems and prose texts. Korhonen continues to work on the concept every year whenever possible, always creating new moving poems with new communities and artists. |
