29.11.2019 Kutomo, Turku (FIN)
“Fluids” is a first time collaboration between Estonian contemporary dance production house Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava and Finnish arts collective W A U H A U S, as the latter created a new performance featuring Estonian dancers Joanna Kalm, Karolin Poska, Sigrid Savi, Joonas Tagel and Swedish actress Salla Loper (replaced by Keithy Kuuspu from November 2019).
In Fluids W A U H A U S creates a state of slipperiness on stage in which the human subject cannot fully control its own body. Fluids invites the audience to encounter empathy, intimacy, and failure in these times when individualism, perfectionism, and mistrust prevail in society. How to surrender oneself to be moved by someone else? How to be moved by a thing rather by your own will? - Kari Paavola (FIN), Music

“Finnish artist Pia Lindman is participating in the group exhibition Let the field of your attention… soften and spread out at Kai Art Center (21.09.-1.12.2019) during Tallinn Photomonth.
