Void2
2014


Void2 is a solo that transforms from space to space. Dancer Elina Häyrynen places
herself in the midst of audience thus bringing the theme of emptiness
from Void (2013) within touching distance. By fading the spatial boundary between
the audience and the performer the dancer is at the same time one of us but also
somebody that acts differently in the manners and qualities characteristic for this
piece.
