Baroque Pearl – Dances for Spring and Silence

A contemporary dance performance for five dancers. <p><i>Baroque Pearl – Dances for Spring and Silence</i> is a work choreographed for five dancers, <strong>Hanna Ahti</strong>, <strong>Anna Maria Häkkinen</strong>, <strong>Anna Mustonen</strong>, <strong>Maija Mustonen </strong>and <strong>Anna Torkkel</strong>, and it is inspired by Japanese composer <strong>Susumu Yokota’s</strong> album <i>Baroque</i> and and French writer <strong>Marguerite Duras’</strong> work.</p><p>The performance is based on the relationship between dance and silence, music and the associations created by textual excerpts. Commissioned by the rendezvous collective, it continues choreographer <strong>Liisa Pentti</strong>’s exploration of the fundamental questions of sound, space and movement in dance.</p><p><i>Baroque Pearl – Dances for Spring and Silence</i> is a poetic choreography in the space between the human and the inhuman, a landscape that is difficult to verbalise and where the place of dance is constantly reshaped. Perhaps it is a spatial love story – for dance.</p>
