Object 2020

Festival for people, object & circus

Magic, dance, sound art, juggling, film, acrobatics, DJ craft, music, cocktails and theater.

This year Object focuses on sound as object material.

Ranging from abstract movement studies to pieces of visual theater the program is filled with unique works and meetings with a diverse group of artists. Acrobatics producing the sound-score, theater work set to a film soundtrack and a music maker focusing on clashing incompatible sound ideas are just some picks from the diverse collection of events.

Onni Toivonen & Wilma Seppälä: Amalgam
is a collision of dance and juggling. Bodies and objects conjure up images that are at times wild and humouristic, at times thoughtful and calm.
