a performance and text written by Marja Viitahuhta (2012)
Sound: Pentti Männikkö
Producer: Soila Valkama
SPOTLIGHT is a minimalistic performance based on a playful approach towards textual structure. The performance is based on a text, where the performer describes the performance itself. Thus the performance becomes an experimental analysis of conventional conditions of performance. At the same time the performance is a demonstration of the core aspects of performance.
Several versions of the performance have been made. A new one will be created for Art’s birthday.
She stands in a spotlight, the rest of the room is dark…
