Catarina Neves Ricci: Takaisin (Back), dance, video and performance piece, premiere

Takaisin is the new performance piece by Lisbon-born Catarina Neves Ricci opening at Kalliosali in April. It is a performance for two dancers and video inspired by Mika Vainio’s album Konstellaatio. The structure is built in three-acts for stage representing a dramaturgic division of the album. Sonically & visually, a construction of Finnish geography and the human body is explored .

Takaisin took Neves Ricci a few years in residence throughout Finland, and is part of the directors' work dedicated to Finnish landscape and sound. The piece introduces a new movement to the female body - from animal symbolisms, archetypes and a dance of animacy, to the human volume, carnal qualities and the Atlantic gestures.

Displaying a hypnotic travel between the dark urban night and the isolation of the Finnish Arctic, the human and the natural world, spheres of light and darkness, Takaisin reveals the different sides and fights of the self: from birth to guilt, from pleasure to fall, to which the use of video is very powerful.
