“Darting between chaos and equanimity, Ella Holappa and Ella Posti curatorially command the space, expertly accompanied, live, by Yoav Feinberg and Omri Kochavi.”

- Resolution Reviews 2022

MATTER OF COURSE

Matter of course is a performance that looks at parallel realities, meaning different realities that exist simultaneously next to each other. The piece is humorous, self-aware and absurd. It creates a wide selection of different worlds on stage where sensory experiences change rapidly from scene to scene. For example under a blue water like tarp the performers sing in a serene like manner from which they suddenly change their body language to a violent bashing around of their bodies. Humour creeps into different sections of the piece as the performers execute everyday tasks in peculiar ways. The piece plays with symbolism and utilises the human need to create meaning for things. The plethora of information on stage puts under inspection the superficiality and importance of subjective perspective.
