JoJo’s spring program 2021 brings together several productions that were delayed from their original schedule.
Oulu Theater, grand stand
Wed 24th March at 19 – IS BEING RESCHEDULED
Due to the corona situation, Breath’s performance is being canceled in the spring of 2021. A new performance date is being sought with the collaborators. The new date will be announced as soon as the date is known.
Live music, dance and visuals intertwine to create wild forms and mythical images – infused by Beckett-inspired existentialism and absurd humour.
Two globally acclaimed Finnish artists, choreographer-dancer Tero Saarinen and accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen, take measure on each other on stage, composing a power web of sound and movement.
Bessie-award winning wizard of stage and lighting design, Mikki Kunttu, will add his spell on the work. The duet is further enhanced by the imaginative sound design of Tuomas Norvio, known for his work in electronic music. Costumes are by fashion designer Teemu Muurimäki. Choreographer’s Assistant is Henrikki Heikkilä.
“In me there have always been two fools, among others, one asking nothing better than to stay where he is and the other imagining that life might be slightly less horrible a little further on.”
“Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.”
– Samuel Beckett
The performance is part of Tero Saarinen Company’s 25th anniversary. The visit will be produced in collaboration with the Oulu Theater and the Oulu Music Festival.
