Nuua Company: Display

Avoimet harjoitukset Cirkolla. Display merges the worlds of visual art and contemporary circus. The concept of the show is the building of an art exhibition on stage. In the hands of two jugglers, both the arrangement of artworks and the mechanisms used to display them become the material of the performance itself. These elements enter light, poetic, and at times even comical situations, leading toward an exhibition that the audience can later observe up close. The show is accompanied by live music from Konsta Leinonen and concludes as the exhibition opens for the audience to explore. The artistic process is rooted in material-based and embodied research: an intuitive exploration in which each object contributes its own simple, physical presence to the performance's aesthetics and dramaturgy. Every movement, grip, and swing forms a subtle dialogue between body and material. By bringing the refined and distinctive interactions between objects and bodies, which are characteristic of Nuua's work, into the realm of visual art, the piece offers a different way of seeing art. It is not presented as a finished image, form, or statement, but as a constantly evolving process in which beauty, uncertainty, and a touch of absurd humor exist side by side. The performance may open unexpected landscapes in the viewer's mind. Surprising interactions between objects and bodies stimulate the imagination and encourage reflection on personal perceptions of movement and art. The piece is designed to be experienced in theatre spaces, museums or open indoor places.
