Pinta (Surface)
One of us and a rope. Magical images of weightlessness. A rope hangs above an empty stage and stealthily it begins to spin. The motion of the twist grows bigger, until the entire rope wriggles and squirms in the air as if haunted by an invisible force, inviting the performer to the stage. Surface-brushing movement ties the eye to the rope's strong fibres. The rising swirl pulls along, grips intertwine tightly and feet take off from the ground. Reflections ripple on surfaces, spilling on spectator's skin. Awarded for Pinta (Surface): Sirkuksen Lumo (Charm of Circus) prize, 2013 by CircusInfo Finland as recognition for work that benefits Finnish circus art.
