Correspondance sous terre

Performance & artist talk at Institut finlandais
Wednesday 25 June 2025 at 7:30pm

Institut finlandais and Ehkä-production welcome you to an evening of performance, the outcome of a correspondence between artist-choreographers in Finland and France.

The project brings artists together to work collectively at the intersection of somatic practices, choreography and language. The performance at Institut finlandais is a continuation of the collective diary writing -practice that the artists shared during two months of spring when nature started to bloom and sprout. In the diary they shared their inner landscapes through intuitive daily writings, about ordinary and extraordinary life and the more invisible things. During the performance that takes its form through text, movement and sound, the diary continues to be written.

What kind of connections could be created through artistic-spiritual practices between two countries, through a correspondence that travels under the earth? What kind of energy, questions and ideas could be transmitted underground and what kind of topics rise to the surface?

With artists Tilhenn Klapper, Anna Torkkel, Ella Skoikka and artist facilitator Saija Kangasniemi. The diary designed by artist Lia Pradal (Editions Païen) will be distributed for free at the event.

Date: Wednesday 25 June 2025, from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. Doors opening at 7pm, Café Maa will be open!
Location: Institut finlandais, 60 rue des Écoles, 75005 Paris
