The new collaboration Ballantine Scale by the popular duo Jäntti & Venna invites the audience into theatre space which leads them into a mysterious world located inside a great white tent by the sea. The performance combines Ilona Jäntti’s innovative aerial acrobatics with the music composed and arranged by Aino Venna. The performance studies the interface of exterior and interior, nature and culture, and the turning point of night and day.
When the sun sets and dusk arrives, the world changes its form, perhaps permanently.
