Events at Zodiak — Center for New Dance
20.3.2010 - 3.6.2010
••• 20.–27.3.2010 Kaatuva maa (Falling Land)
Two joint pieces by choreographer Petri Kekoni and composer Olli Koskelin as a small festival invite us to meditate upon the power of contemporary dance in an ever-accelerating world. The live string music and movement in the pieces grew in the spirit of Cunningham-Cage, tuned to breathe together and separately.
Falling Land (2001) exudes the power and fury of nature, carried on by the wave of sound created by the Avanti! string quartet. An impacting piece about one kind of an environmental catastrophe, realized in architectural, almost mathematically precise movement.

••• 7.–16.4.2010 Stage Animals #2
To what extent are we cultural animals that need to love idols and images in order to see into themselves? Choreographer Liisa Pentti explores in a surreal and humoristic way the urge to perform with the help of the first popular icon, Sissi the last Empress of Austria-Hungary.
