Petri Kekoni: Closer to the heart

The dance installation Closer to the Heart was realized at Pyhäsalmi mine in 2012, in collaboration with Pyhäsalmi’s Full Moon Dance Festival and Inmet Oy. 11 dancers created five gallery-like performance spaces 1,400 metres under ground, and viewers could experience the scenes at their own pace on a kind of orbital path that began with an imposing elevator descent into the cavernous mine.

Performances: 21. & 22.7.2012, Pyhäjärvi Finland
