"It sounds like my old fridge, but it helps me think about life, and to fall asleep."
(Anonymous comment about Éliane Radigue's music on the Internet.)

Dance performance ÉLIANE opens the work of composer Éliane Radique, I’Île Re-sonante, as a physical landscape in dialogue with Radique's thinking. It invites us to think about our place in the world, and the cycle of nature; our relationship with ourselves and each other, and being in the world. It invites you to ask for change.

The work is a collaboration between Teemu Mäki and Maija Nurmio. The dancers in the piece are Jonna Eiskonen and Maija Karhunen, in addition to Nurmio. The work is brought to light by Olivia Pohjola. The members of the team have worked together in various artistic formations since 2007. ÉLIANE is the first collaborative work of the group. The work will premiere at Vaba Lava Theater in Tallinn on January 14, 2020.
