Survivors

Taneli Törmä’s movements and Finnish Anna Lipponen’s text are a 60 minute poetic marathon. Through the two actors’ constant and simultaneous flow of speech, movement, voice and text, the audience is brought step by step into a manipulative landscape. Together they have explored how the spoken word can enrich the choreographic. The spoken word pushes the body; sets it in motion while the body that moves gives the words a new meaning. An accurate choreography and an equally established ‘spoken word’ is here.
FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!
The race to succeed in life is put on stage and as a spectator you are drawn in. During a 60-minute marathon of movement, voice and text, the boundaries between artists and spectators are blurred. Together we ask the big question: How far do you want to go to make it work? That’s the devil’s life.
ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVES.

Please note: The performance language is English.
