Jazz Finland Live

Turku City Theatre, Small Stage
Tickets 18–39 € at Lippu.fi

On the opening weekend of the Turku Jazz Festival, Tanssiteatteri Sivuun Ensemble invites the public to a ritualistic nature chapel to experience emotions related to the environmental crisis. Musicians, dancers and scientists transport the viewer from the pain and fear of our era to hope and trust. Award-winning choreographer Ninni Perko’s frantic, sensitive, sacred rite of passage visualizes new possibilities and worlds, building bridges to the future.

The music of Silentopia was composed together by Jarmo Saari, Anni Elif and Pauli Lyytinen. The ensemble’s genre distribution runs from chamber music through free jazz to electroacoustic. Paavo Malmberg, the sound designer of the piece, is the band’s fourth member.

The duration of the show is approx. 2 hours, including an intermission.
