Tuija Lappalainen: HUM | Tanssivirtaa Tampereella -nykytanssifestivaali
Contemporary dance performance HUM delves into exploring the poetics of the unknown and the inexplicable experience.
HUM delves into exploring the poetics of the unknown and the inexplicable experience. The title of the piece comes from a phenomenon or a collection of phenomena associated with narratives of a low-frequency hum, sound, or noise that is not audible to everyone and whose source is unlocatable.
In the work, moments of being moved collide with the materialities of everyday existence, creating alienating and immersive ruptures and resonances. The theatrical events make visible the streams of humanity and corporeality in relation to questions of existence, time, and mortality within the grandiose framework of everyday horror.
