Light House

Event

26 July.

Light House is Mad House's spring performance evening at the end of May. The Light House will bring together four different works by Katie Lenanton, Veera Lohiniva, Rusto Myllylahti and Timo Viialainen on the Mad House stage and on its edges.

It can be a lighthouse and perhaps even a light house, but it can also be everything else: hazy nooks, weighty gestures, giggling flavors, and sleepy bodies.

Tervetuloa, Welcome <3

Schedule:
17:00 Doors open
18:00 Rusto Myllylahti: Elatu Nessa
19:00 Veera Lohiniva: The Sword at the Coffee Table
20:00 Timo Viialainen: Blow

Katie Lenanton's Bar Tender Express available all evening

Rusto Myllylahti's solo project Elatu Nessa is a homemade weave of guitars, humming, noise, quiet sighs, and field recordings. It is a soundtrack for desert dreams, snowy fields, and computers created by imagination - a loving leap into one's own mind and out from there. Birdsong in the dirty bushes. In Light House, Elatu Nessa's music, sounds, lounging, light, and sleep are combined.

Duration: approx. 45min
Language: no language
Content notes: dark space with music and sound, non-participatory, calm atmosphere, possibility to lie down
Age recommendation: 7+ / no age limit

Veera Lohiniva's Sword on the coffee table is a performance, where we drift from separation into oneness with things, the environment, people and other species.There are gently participatory scenes in the performance, where participation is voluntary.

Duration: 40min
Language: English (no subtitles/translation or interpretation)
Content notes: mildly participatory. Participation is voluntary.
Age recommendation: Aimed at adults, but suitable for all ages.

In Timo Viialainen's performance Blow, the theater space shifts between the mundane and the theatrical as a transitional zone of experience. Everything in the performance situation is material: "Who I am, expectations, space, situation, tension, lights, cables... this text written without precise knowledge of what I am doing... I use extremes such as black, bright, loud, and quiet. Contrasts are quick means and my possibilities are limited."

Duration: 30min
Language: -
Content notes: Contains loud noise and flickering light.
Age recommendation: -

Katie Lenanton presents Bar Tender Express in between performances, serving special concoctions developed in dialogue with the other artists participating in Light House.
