Kalle Nio, WHS: DEPARTURE (FI)

Photo: WHS

It is about a woman and a man in a complicated relationship. They are standing on the stage confused, surrounded by clothes and hoping to solve their misunderstanding. Their feelings and thoughts are expressed through the movements of their bodies and their clothes, which seem to live a life of their own. Black and white cinematic aesthetics of the performance borrows from various film inserts by Michelangelo Antonioni, rummaging through the issues of strangeness, absurd and noise in communication between the two individuals. The action evokes a sense of floating in a dream, and a sense of complete illusion, thus triggering a unique theatrical experience that combines circus, magic, dance, audio and visual elements.

Within the International festival Lutke 2016.

WHS is a visual theatre, mostly focusing its creation on the principles of modern circus. It was established by a visual artist and magician Kalle Nio, a juggler Ville Walo and a set and costume designer Anne Jämsä. Exploring the genre of modern/new circus, their performances trend towards a contemporary, independent and constantly changing expression that lingers between the realms of theatre and new circus.
