Distortion Trio

A Go-Go dance research.


Eksil in collaboration with WAREHOUSE9
Work-in-progress showing d. 21.02.2020 kl 17:00-18:30 

Genre: Dans

DISTORTION TRIO is a further research of Taneli Törmäs and Esa Mattilas past Go-Go dance solo performance called DISTORTION, where Taneli wanted to explore his background as a go-go-dancer. During this Eksil the solo performance will be transformed into trio, where 3 different kind of performers try to do same action. Accompanied by 2m X 2m podiums and a sound system they attempt to make the audience dance, while staging themselves as objects that has no real power over the audiences reactions. For example Taneli, being past 30 years old he also has to admit that his go-go dancing is not what it used to be! However the situation provides him a possibility to investigate the line between being an object and the subjective freedom – the freedom of being a person.
