Studio at 19:00-00:00
Me and The Machine:
When We Meet Again (Introduced As Friends)
When We Meet Again (Introduced As Friends) is a wearable film and one-to-one performance, a bizarre sensuous experience featuring you, your invisible friend, a 3D soundtrack, an old forgotten dance, the ocean, a flavour and me.
Video filmed from a first person perspective and displayed on video goggles replaces your point of view by… someone else’s. When you look down you see a new body, a body through which you will move and encounter ghostly presences. Through a journey of meetings mediated by technology, blinded by vision, displaced by what you hear and see around you but you know is not ‘really’ there, When We Meet Again wonders about the function (and defunction) of the body in our media inundated times.
Theatre Hall at 19:30-20:30
Stacy Makishi and the workshop artists:
Consequences / Exquisite Corpses
As a part of the festival, May 23rd–27th Stacy Makishi leads a five-day workshop for visual artists and performing artists living in South-West Finland. The aim of the workshop is to explore how to make original work that is generated by a series of creative responses to sites, surroundings, audiences and performances made by others. The workshop will galvanize its participants to move faster than think, write quicker than edit, and create faster than critique.
The week culminates in a performance created by the workshop artists and Stacy Makishi seen as a part of An Audience With... event. The day before, on Thursday May 26th the artists are showing their works as a part of the BETA event at the Titanik Gallery. The workshop is organised by the Arts Council of South-West Finland.
The workshop artists and performers are Tiia-Mari Aalto, Rea-Liina Brunou, Natsuko Ishikawa, Päivi Kastemaa, Leena Koskinen, Saija Lehtola and Seija-Leena Salo.
Theatre Hall at 21:30-22:30
Kim Noble:
Kim Noble Will Die
A ground breaking mix of absurd comedy, video and avant-garde theatre, the notorious Kim Noble Will Die is a show about failure and entertainment, death and legacy and how to get by in life a little more easily.
Life is tough, but Kim Noble will help you get through it whilst laying bare his plans for departing this world. Forced to assess his meagre legacy as his contemporaries become more and more successful, what Kim Noble bequeaths to the world has become of utmost importance to him. In a series of benevolent acts, audience members are written into Kim's legally binding Last Will and Testament, provided with guides to surviving terrorist plots on the underground, money is given away etc.
The performance is for over 18s only.
