Description "Deus que me deu is a solo dance piece which physically and bodily searches a human’s connection to the spiritual and holy experience. In our society the discussion and the general perception of religiousness is often culminated to the church and it’s state and opinions.

This piece aims to search the sacred as a very primitive basic experience of a human being, without the domination of religions and different institutions. The sacred is not necessarily felt when everything is well, but when you are about to lose it all and have to stop in front of the questions of existence.

Other Information Other performers: Noora Ahola
The dance piece is the second part of Venäläinen’s trilogy ”Where the soul lives”. The trilogy searches the connection between the soul and the body. The first part about destruction, Havoc, premiered in 2016 and the third part about the relationship between a mother and a child, Suojassa? (Shielded?), will premiere in 2018.
