Trisolde by Fine5 Dance Theatre

The production was born in innovative collaboration of contemporary dance, contemporary music and new technology.

Dance performance "Trisolde" is inspired by the music and characters of R.Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde", the world-class opera. The work deals with conflicting topics in relationship between a man and a woman, and touches the delicate line between love and hate.

The visual-technological symbiosis of the work takes place in lively interactive technology with the dancers. Each movement of the dancers affects the sound and video image of the performance. The audience also has the opportunity to participate in the sound design of the performance - a small group of viewers are connected to sensors, from which a computer program identifies their cognitive and emotional state when watching the performance. This data affects real-time audio. Therefore, each performance of the work is unique.
The production is collaboration between Fine5 Dance Theater, Tallinn University and the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater.

"Trisolde" premiered on March 4, 2019 in Sakala 3 Theater House. The production has been performed at international dance festivals in Lithuania and Sweden and there are upcoming performances at contemporary dance festivals in Russia, Sweden and Norway.

Choreographer-director:  Renee Nõmmik
Dramaturgy and science of biocybernetic symbiosis: Ilkka Kosunen, Aleksander Väljamäe

Dior in Moscow by Seiko Dance Company

Identity of post-soviet woman is analysed in the performance, focusing on its transformation due to the Western experiences. Human body is the place of tradition, communication and authenticity. It listens, tells and retells stories and every time forms the identity from the perspective of place and time. If we look back in time, the changes of woman's identity were legitimized by socioeconomic shifting. Specific roles of being a Soviet woman and multiple roles of being a post-Soviet woman is a focus of our interest.
The research is based on Dr. Aneta‘s Pavlenko "Socioeconomic Conditions and Discursive Construction of Women's Identities in Post-Soviet Countries" (2002) which takes also a role of dramaturgical line in the performance. In the performance we deal with questions about woman's identity: What kind of identity has a post-Soviet woman nowadays? Does the Soviet woman's identity still exist in the second and third generation? Does particular post- Soviet woman's identity still exist in the era of globalisation? And if yes - how do we deal with it? We also look at the so to say "heritage" of post-soviet thinking in our generation and try to search how is it possible to catch the features of eastern mentality in everyday life.

Together


"Together" is a duet about mature relationships, about being together, about being in one tempo. If we are together, no matter where we are going. Important is just going to the one aim in one speed. We are exploring both: concept of movement and philosophically – what is one speed, being in one tempo, if people are so different and evolve differently.
This is very physical, bodily performance easily adjustable to the space, with minimum of scenography and technical needs, but very choreographically complex. The story, of course, is about love.

Choreography: Olga Zitluhina and dancers.

Dancers: Ramona Galkina and Vilnis Birins.

Duration: 30 min


3D about the Phones (school performances)


Stacks Image 347
“3D About the Phones" is a social dance project, performance, which takes place in schools, directly in classrooms, for pupils and young people. Nowadays phones have taken such a large role in lives of young people, that also Dance cannot remains indifferent. It seems that even Love is no longer able to compete with Phones. Everyone has a phone, it can buy, it is not demanding (and emotional attracted just charge the battery), but it takes away all your free time. Brutal but at the same time so seamlessly. Whether it is good or bad, we cannot know, but we can draw attention to this phenomenon. Perhaps to help those who are open.

Choreography: Olga Zitluhina and dancers.

Duration: 40 min.


Fragmentes - excerpt from Two Swans by Stellaris DansTeater

Fragments - Excerpt from Two Swans is a visually beautiful and energetic choreography. The piece is inspired by rock carvings from Alta and the motif "Two swans in stone" which are from rock carvings outside Belamorsk. The choreography is a leap from old to a more modern time visualized through two stage images with facts and imagination. In a universe of movements and colours, joik and choirs, a fantasy world is created.

Choreographer: Solveig Leinan-Hermo
Composer: Halvdan Nedrejord
Dancers: Ekaterina Nikitina, Eivind Linn and Tonje Aas Molnes
Producer: Stellaris DansTeater
