Hazmat Hole

Company Uusi Maailma

Company New World presents Corona Live Art in Galleria Hoppa 16 May - 29 May 2020.

Hazmat Hole is a short, interdisciplinary contemporary live art performance in Galleria Hoppa, Jyväskylä, from 16 May til 29 May.

One spectator at a time. 64 show-times. 64 different experiences.

Hazmat Hole is a hybrid of Escape Room -logic, self-made labyrinth and spatial installation. It’s a adventurous. mystical and highly intimate mental and concrete route that each spectator experiences alone through the perfomance space.

The main performers are a close-up ballet dancer and a light piece “Metempsychosis”, combined with visual elements, video, music and sonic art. The spectator and the live performer get unusually close to one another, while remaining equally far apart, due to the plastic walls between them.

The aspects of hygience and distancing have been taken into account while planning this performance during COVID-19 pandemic. These requirements are also entwined in the visual, artistic and technical aspects of the performance.

The duration of the performance is approx. 15 minutes. Suitable for people of 15 years and above. Includes strong theatrical elements.

Sponsored by: City of Jyväskylä, University of Jyväskylä, Arts Promotion Centre Finland, The Finnish Cultural Foundation – Central Finland Regional Fund.
