Muualla 2009

available for booking / for the whole family / indoor / outdoor / stage work

Muualla/Elsewhere explores the possibilities of combining animation, circus and dance in a live performance context. The interaction between the animation and the performer enables a dialogue between the real and virtual worlds: animated environment and emerging creatures are affected by the performer and vice versa. The imagery of the piece is constantly changing and nothing is what it seems to be.

“With Jeker’s stylish and graphic animated designs forming an interactive backdrop for Jantti’s effortlessly elegant moves on ropes, and great music by Tuomas Norvio, it is instantly engaging. Circus skills creep in everywhere these days, but this is so fresh and the result is a sublime success.” – Liz Arratoon, The Stage
