AT CIRKO STAGE Photo: Pasi Orrensalo This work can be related to the moving sculpture, which can be observed from different angles at the same time. The name of the work, 369°, reflects to the movement composition, which is open simultaneously all the directions. Like choreographers words: “A perfect circle (360°) is in balance, and that is precisely what we don't want. The idea of balance is a kind of phantom from which we keep fleeing in each art work. “

The project is a collaboration between choreographer Pirjo Yli-Maunula, costume and set designer Pirjo Valinen, light designer Jukka Huitila and sound designer Aake Otsala. Humans have been using wool for thousands of years. The age-old material becomes a counterpoint against the unethical practices of cheap mass production and the ideology of the dispensable. Wool has many souls, many shapes and many meanings for humans. After the winter and the summer the artists’ and the audience’s year-long journey with wool will come to its conclusion in the beginning of a new winter. Villa on stage is a monumental world, created by a wool totem, sculptural dance, light and sound. The team consists also of dancers Titta Court and Milla Virtanen, visual artist Heidi Kesti and photographer and writer Janne-Pekka Manninen.
