 Spring is bringing with it a number of exciting premieres, and I’ve had the pleasure of contributing as a designer light artist to several upcoming performances. Here are the highlights where light and movement meet in meaningful ways.
¡Lorca! – Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin Tanssin talo, Helsinki April 25–26, 2025 Kaari and Roni Martin company’s latest production, ¡Lorca!, draws inspiration from the life and poetry of Federico García Lorca. The work blends flamenco dance, live music, and visual elements into a raw and captivating experience. As the lighting designer, it is a privilege to explore Lorca’s symbolism and create a world of light that both plays and tears. Flamenco converse through light—projects like this challenge and inspire the intuition of visual storytelling. More about the performance → Chamber Symphony Concert V: Reidar Särestöniemi 100 Years Korundi House of Culture, Rovaniemi May 15–16, 2025 This concert by the Lapland Chamber Orchestra celebrates the 100th anniversary of painter Reidar Särestöniemi. Here, music meets the visual arts in a shared space of resonance. Light plays a special role in shaping the layers of atmosphere. Särestöniemi’s vivid and expressive visual language served as inspiration for the lighting design, which aims to echo the mysticism of northern light and the rhythm of Reidar’s brushstrokes. More about the concert → Silence Festival 2025 Kaukonen, Kittilä June 5–8, 2025 Early summer brings us back to the village of Kaukonen. The Silence Festival is a space where sound, space, and time are allowed to breathe. Once again, I’ll be taking part with light-based installations and scenographic concepts. The festival allows for an intimate and experimental approach—light is not so much about revealing, but inviting new ways of seeing.
