ITO
ITO is a live act with butoh artist/dancer Frauke and sound artist Riku-Pekka Kellokoski with three performances, each in a different venue. In Vapaan Taiteen Tila also butoh dancer Santeri Vikström performs his piece ”Taivaan tai vaan rako”.
The central theme of the performance is wilderness and our relationship to nature’s instincts, through the birds of prey. The sharp instincts of birds of prey enables them to have an acute awareness. It makes them invisible see-er in the dark. Alight with wildness with a breath of wind and movement of silence. Sailing between worlds – the earthly and unearthly. Listening to voices from above and below. Riding the vortex.

Taivaan tai vaan rako – butoh performance by Santeri Vikström

Dancing the process of life and death by surrendering into the mystery.
