Laura Cemin & Bianca Hisse: How the Land Lies

How the Land Lies is a performance for 5 bodies and 3 LED scrolling signs. 

These LEDs, usually encountered in public spaces as low-key advertisement signs, become tools to address the politics of language. Navigating between tourism slogans and visa questionnaires the dancers, who themselves carry experiences of migration and displacement between countries; interact with the text scrolling on the LED panels. As the words move on the screens, the bodies equally move them. 

Borders slowly blur: who can stay and who must leave? Who is seen and who remains hidden? What is allowed and what is forbidden?

Italian Laura Cemin and Brazilian Bianca Hisse has created the performance together with dancers living as migrants in Finland. The sound of the performance is by Estonian band VeraVice.
