Swedish and Haitian Music and Performance in the Arctic.
Vision Forum and Pikene på Broen are proud to invite you to a touring performance in the Arctic by visual artists and musicians from Haiti and Sweden. The performance offers a unique blend of conceptual art, contemporary music and voodoo practices – bringing them into dialogue with the cultures of the Arctic. The performers use video projections, texts and music created using modular synthesizers, percussion and vocals. The performance merges experimental, traditional and electronic dance music into performative unity.
In the «The Boundaries of Death Challenged» the artists will focus on how views on human mortality inform and shape our everyday existence. The project brings together two distinct and opposing cosmologies: on the one hand, the secular, scientific Western tradition that sees death as the end and the Haitian outlook where the boundaries between the living and the dead remain porous. The dead “stay” among the living and voodoo artists like Jean-Claude Saintilus see and interact with them on a daily basis. In the performance, the artists use field recordings from the Arctic region and bring them into dialogue with their own artistic and spiritual practices.
