solmussa
Dance-performance
”But it does require decisions and I do not like decisions
I’d rather wait
You know
For it, to come to me
That has happened before, though might be that
Still waiting
Waiting
Yeah,
Waiting
But I am told not to wait since
There is an expiry date for everything, for everyone”
”The delicate play of light, sound and movement guide the focus of the two moving bodies on stage. A dialogue of two women where moments of softness, loneliness, tension and honest encounters emerge and become palpable for the audience.”
solmussa is a duet by the artistic group transversalis.production in which physical negotiation is composed and expressed through the poetry of movement in a light-sound-props landscape. The title is Finnish and translates to "entangled." It suggests to represent the complexity of relationships and negotiations within. The title is shortened from ”se ol’ mussa” which spoken in Finnish dialect means "it is in me", encouraging the thought that the problem and the solution is within ourselves. solmussa submit to self-reflection, which is the physical and mental premise of this piece.
