NUUA – HEDE
Hede is a lyrical contemporary circus performance exploring organisms of human interaction. The performance transforms the stage into a visional living room, where object manipulation, juggling and poetry meet in an absurd way. With symbolic floral objects and minimalistic aesthetics the show makes transitions from motion into imaginary – and the other way around. Hede balances between simple elements and complex thinking.
Duration 40min
ARTISTIC INTENTION
Olli Vuorinen juggles with flower pots, plants and other organic and non-organic objects mixing isolation – and balancing techniques with physical theatre. Through her poetry Katri Salmenoja drills into complexities of human interaction building meaning and giving context to the physical. The cross-artistic
dialogue evolves still together with visual artist Teo Lanerva, who creates a tender atmosphere and a visual frame to the performance. Tensions between manipu-
lated objects and theatrical elements communicate seamlessly with poetry and sound.
We wish to invite the audience to a emotional and versatile trip that triggers our visual senses and inspires opening thought prosesses.
