Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin's Spanish-Romani-Jewish-Finnish flamenco orchestra and Helsinki City Theater's dance group invite you to Veren häät. The Blood Wedding is contemporary dance and flamenco at its deepest, with lyrics by the Spanish national poet, Federico García Lorca. A blood wedding is like our union with overeating and self-deception, wanton consumption and indifference. It is an autopsy of the animal's humanity and man's animality. Avant-gardists like Lorca, Dalí and Buñuel lived in Europe at a time when poetry was a weapon and when artists were persecuted. Together, they created surrealist art, whose images crystallized the present time and which already foreshadowed the coming world fire. Dali and Buñuel escaped and Lorca was executed, a prelude to the Spanish Civil War. The Blood Wedding is dedicated to those artists who plunge into the bull's horns. https://hkt.fi/esitykset/veren-haat/  All photos Stefan Bremer The Raekallio Corp. dance group invites you to join us in celebrating ten years of its existence! The Credo party performance is a shameless reaching towards the inexplicable dimensions of humanity through the means of art. In a performance that combines movement, live music and contemporary poetry, the artists of Raekallio Corp. lead the audience to the questions of love, death, beauty and all temporality. In addition to the group's dancers, mezzo-soprano Tuija Knihtilä, pianist Matti Raekallio and poet Eino Santanen will be seen and heard as performers. The gala performance, which will be organized in Tanssi talos Pannuhalli on Tuesday 5 December 2023 at 19:00, deepens the artistic, ethical and aesthetic ideas with which we have been working for the past 10 years. It is built around new scenes created for it, as well as scenes borrowed from the group's older works, following the dramaturgy of jubilant bodyguards rather than a traditional dance performance. One show, one night, one life! All Photos Minna Hatinen |
