We look for people to share their experience of how it feels to be too much led by other people.
For this dance, I will take the lead -performance consists of pieces of music, chosen by the participants. The performance consists of songs and music pieces chosen by the participants. During the songs the participants lead the audience to move in the space.
The performance reflects the experience of not being able to influence enough one´s own life. In what kind of situations and in which areas of life this feeling takes over? What does the feeling of no control tells about our society and about the relationships between people? Artist Tellervo Kalleinen helps each of the participants to plan how their experience can be transmitted for the audience - for the duration of one piece of music.
