in a short time; soon

In her latest stage work ANON – The Act of Waiting choreographer Johanna Nuutinen utilises her customary medium of virtuoso dance to explore the unavoidable senses of surrendering and uncertainty created by waiting. ANON also examines the temporary communities created by the act of waiting and questions the power structures of waiting.

The ever accelerating pace of life is a global phenomenon. To combat the fragmentation of our concentration we have to make a conscious effort to focus longer on a single thing and accept the amount of time a slower development takes. ANON questions our perception of time, gently inviting us to slow our pulse and bring our focus to the detailed physicality of the performers. The critics have described the work as bold, captivating and intense. The performers have been praised for their capacity to flow through the different dynamics of the movement effortlessly. The all-Finnish design team offers visually captivating stage imagery and strong aural experiences wrapped up in delicate costume design. The universal theme of time is something everyone, despite their nationality, can relate to.
