‘Noise … disrupts the organization of the organs. It transforms the organs into a thousand ears, the ears into a vibrating, fluttering drum skin.’
– Marie Thompson, 2012
‘Noise … is both a thing and a relationship between things.’
– Aaron Cassidy ja Aaron Einbond, 2013
Water transfers the vibrations of sound much more effectively than air. Soundwaves concretely move the water and all being in the water and made out of water. We are water and of water: on average 60% of the human body is water and before their birth humans spend nine months in water. In water sound quality becomes movement quality. Sound can move, tear, shake and soothe us on a cellular level.
Hz brings the viewer-experiencer in the middle of the sound creating a strong kinesthetic, auditory and visual experience through virtuosic dance, expansive visuality and deeply moving soundscape. The creative team consists of both Nuutinen’s long-term collaborators and new acquaintances. At the core of the creative team are composer and sound designer Tuomas Norvio, scenographer Joonas Tikkanen, fashion artist and costume designer Mert Otsamo, dramaturg Jarkko Lehmus and dance artists Natasha Lommi, Elina Häyrynen, Saida Solla, Eero Vesterinen and Riccardo Zandona.
