Face-to-Face introduces a view on the making process of one picture. The stage is a vast paper canvas on where the picture is formed by movement imprints of three performers: two dancers and a visual artist.
The six meters wide picture transforms scales familiar to us so that one can look into the world of movements contained by a picture. The performance may then be viewed both as a work of art as well as a dance performance.
In essential role are also the sound and rhythm of the drawing. With the musicians of the Jyväskylä Symphony the tapping and soft scratching of the chalks become a part of the composition and in the version with sound designer Tuuli Kyttälä sound design the sound of drawing is elevated and layered to the next level.
