NYKY Ensemble and Liisa Pentti +Co: Ref2022 (Flow Festival 2023)
Sat 12.8.2023
Flow Festival 2023, Suvilahti Kaasutehtaankatu 1, 00540, Helsinki
Ref2022, a coproduction of the Sibelius Academy’s NYKY Ensemble and Liisa Pentti +Co, will be seen at Flow Festival 2023.
The work, created together with six dancers, suggests a new kind of connection between contemporary dance and Eno’s music where the meditative music creates singing and historicity of movement.
In every moment the dancers continually modify their movement paths with microscopic precision by observing the dialogue between movement and mind and constantly making choices about space and timing. The rich and unpredictable movement language acts at times as a counterpoint to the soundscape and sometimes independently, without a primary relationship to the music.
Ref2022 is a light work in dark times. The music and dance create a landscape inside which the viewer can allow themselves to experience floating, timelessness and dreams that occasionally remind us of a past that perhaps never was.
