Performance by Simona Orinska, Ieva Vīksne, Platons Buravickis and eight butoh dancers "Body, Body and 8 dreams" in opening of short film festival 2ANNAS (https://2annas.lv/lv) 08.04.23

Simon Orinska's choreography in interaction with the musical improvisations of Platons Buravickis. The author of the visual identity of the performance – Ieva Vīksne. What to expect from the performance? Artist Ieva VĪksne explains it the best: “The body carries us forward, refreshing and recharging itself in sleep and, every now and then, creating mystical combinations of events or even hallucinations about reality before our eyes. Shining a little light into this realm of the subconscious reveals our truest and most hidden feelings. Moreover, it also the fears that constantly accumulate in our bodies are also illuminated. We invite you to a hypnotic butoh performance. Projections, allowing you to capture the sense of dreaminess through bodies and images, will constitute the visual backdrop.

Medium: Buto performance, video, projections, sound art.
Visual concept: Ieva Vīksne
Projection performers: Ieva Vīksne, Laima Graždanoviča, Endija Latvena
