Nopeussokeus seeks interfaces between cinema and stage magic by creating on a theater stage scenes, that we are accustomed to seeing only in still pictures or in a film in slow motion. Kalle Nio’s solo creates a hypnotic tension with its mixture of magic and visual arts. Music composed for the performance by Samuli Kosminen. Texts by Harry Salmenniemi.
