Roskakatos collective & Tsuumi Dance Theatre:
HIUSKARVAN VARASSA event
Art from the vague moment of the relationship with nature
A multi-year, rotating event that changes with the performance venues, Hiuskarvan varassa will be experienced for the first time in the summer of 2023 in Kuopio, on June 19th-20th. In its first event, the Roskakatos collective recycles Tsuumi Dance Theatre’s works MARTAT and We Called Her Bertha as well as the free field productions lollollollollollollol, Matriarkka and OMPELUSEURAT into an eventful entity in a common landscape.
Hiuskarvan varassa is an experiential performance event where nature is built from discarded objects and things in a gritty concrete environment. Examining the wall between man and nature, the ensemble plays with scales and the collision of organic and built nature. The experiential event, even reaching dystopian dimensions, invites the viewer to step into the vague moments of the Finnish relationship with nature and ask themselves ”Am I nature?”
A few years ago, Tsuumi’s works MARTAT and We Called Her Bertha, which premiered at the joint evening, will be seen in a completely new arrangement at the event. They are presented in the same space one on top of the other, commenting on each other, and the works form the second half of the event. Bertha powerfully reflects nature and its endless cycle through abstraction; Martat is like a person who, through his everyday activities, establishes a relationship with nature.
