The bilingual performance art piece Celestial Body invites the audience to follow a planetary love story inside a planetarium. We reach for the stars, that shine bright or fade away – and sometimes they answer the call of a loved one. Performer Silva Belghiti acts as the audience’s travel guide to the cold embrace of outer space and back.

Combining love poems and astronomy, the performance contemplates longing and the boundaries of communication, and attempts to demonstrate the scale of the Universe from the the human body’s perspective.

The presentation languages are Finnish Sign Language and English. 
The show is recommended for people over 13 years old.

Saturday 22th and Saturday 29 the performance precedes an audience discussion at 14.00. Entry with the performance ticket.

Note! The performance is experienced in a lying position and the performance has long dark periods. The performance is not accessible for wheelchairs.
