BLUE PLANET

10/2015 LéSpace,  Helsinki 

Blue Planet is a continuation of the work of Kanon Melia (2013-14), in which human instability, caprice, dramaticism and self-referentiality are observed through a mythology of the tree. On the blue planet the myth comes to an end, the tree falls, and the woodland nymphs must renounce their identity. Here starts a mind-blowing journey from the soil to the upper regions of space, light and the heart beat. Through a fictional and historical metamorphoses the performers find themselves on a poetry of earth that is ceasing never.  

We have adapted different composer's musical compositions detached from their eras, so that they can be approached as pure energy from their initial context and representation. An ever-continuous synthesis of singing and dancing, Opera Physical is the overall auditory effect changing an acoustic classic sound into an electronic genre from Daft Punk to Händel.
