sky every day
(neljän päivän läheisyys)

KLEE-UW! KLEE-UW!

A beach requires three: land, sea and sky.

Humans flock to a sunny beach resort, chat mindlessly on the terrace of an oceanside restaurant, and pass time in the solitude of hotel rooms. This beach isn’t a haven of nostalgic idleness, as a wall of dead fish is pushed onto the shore from the murky ocean. The audiovisual performance offers eye-opening perspectives to the human condition and our relationship to nature. In sky every day the stage is inhabited by the multispecies mortals of the seaside resort.

sky every day is written by playwright, dramaturg, and screenwriter Pipsa Lonka, whose plays often depict the interaction of different species and dismantle the divide between nature and culture. The play will be adapted to the stage by WAUHAUS arts collective, one of Finland’s most interesting internationally active performance makers. sky every day also includes the piece Cloud trio (2009), composed by the late Kaija Saariaho and written into the play by Pipsa Lonka. The composition will be performed live by three top musicians from Avanti! Chamber Orchestra.
