THE WORD FOR FREEDOM
― Me Mey
The Word For Freedom is a narrative work. Aerial acrobats, masked actors, and musicians perform a ritual together with a string music instrument six meters high. During the performance there is a food offer and a plant seeds' offer. The story: A totem resembling a plant is built at the center of a village. The community lives by it and with it celebrates rituals of prosperity. During a famine, two strangers aerial people land on the totem and invite the villagers to open it. When they do it, a vibration runs through its metal body revealing the solution to the famine. The community gathers the new seeds and makes a pact of solidarity with the strangers and with the plants. _____________________________________________ THE WORD FOR FREEDOM an installation-performance by visual artist Egle Oddo Composer Timo Tuhkanen Characters Ava __________________ masked actress Iika Hartikainen Osa __________________ masked actress Riina Tikkanen Princess Celeste ____ soloist Outi Pulkkinen Princess Velata _____ soloist Marika Krook Sagittarius __________ musician Juho Laitinen Sirius ________________ musician Timo Tuhkanen Stranger Hesediel ___ aerial acrobat Pinja Shönberg Stranger Muriel ______ aerial acrobat Riikka Pentinsaari Masks by Laura Mäkelä Costumes by Suvi Hänninen Musical direction Juho Laitinen and Outi Pulkkinen Working at the sculpture with the author: Metallurgy expert Martti Halonen Wood expert Jelle van der Beek Musical instruments Timo Tuhkanen Written and produced by Egle Oddo Assistant producer Frida Stenbäck Camera Jari Järvi and Marek Pluciennik Video editing Jari Järvi Still photography Antti Ahonen The work is part of a larger project called The Ark of Seeds.
