Mikki Noroila (they/them) works between moving image and sound. Noroila's recent works draw on their Viena Karelian family histories to explore the legacy of Karelianism — a Finnish national romantic movement that imagined Karelia as the source of "the original Finnish culture."
UNDERTONE Creative Associations: Traces of Imminence
Site-specfic perfromance at Baltic Circle International Theatre Festival 2022, Helsinki (performer & sound design)
UNDERTONE – Traces of Imminence focuses on the phenomenon of surveillance culture and totalitarianism sustained by man-made infrastructure. It reflects on how we manage our fellow species using technology. Combining experimental theatre, dance and installation, the performance takes the audience on an exploration into an imaginary reality that layers the temporalities of the past, present and future.
In the mystical reality of the performance, bodily spaces open up from personal views towards global dimensions. The performance opens up societal power structures and issues of oppression, making visible the structures that offer space and care for others, but at the same time put entire groups of people in a vulnerable position.
