Sonja Jokiniemi´s latest stage work ÖH ( Premier on November 2020 ) will be presented as part of ICE HOT, Nordic Dance Platform on February 10th 2022.
“ÖH is a multisensorial installation created from ordinary objects, large wooden structure, handmade rugs and textiles. The work binds together a sensorial logic as a choreographic proposition. Here subjects and objects are multiples, intertwining between different meanings and associations. A site, where colours narrate and textures dialogue. Sensuality, hybrids and the uncanny create an artistic world of discovery and divergence.
ÖH, arranges and deconstructs ordinary landscape into the poetics of everyday. An idea of piling up instead of dividing creates a world where many colours of human and objecthood are possible and explored. The work attempts towards liberation from binaries and construction of multi-temperamental togetherness, where abrasion points, reverie, dissecting and care all play a well grounded part in an idea of creation, that cannot be separated from destruction.
The performance invites the audience into a web of weaving meaning and contact, tripping into the associative.”
