Dance, music and poetry meet each other in this physical, English/Finnish bilingual exploration of Adrian Goldman’s writing.
Driving towards the rain/Ajaen kohti sadetta is a unique bilingual poetic/movement/music physical encounter that breathes through Adrian Goldman’s writing of the last 22 years. The work evokes the mundane, insignificant, frail moments that nevertheless make us who we are. Who is it that we encounter in going back to those moments; a (past?) version of our self, or a fellow traveller? The movement of two dancers and the sound of the clarinet interact with the poetry. Space is given for sound and movement to emerge in the moment. Parts of the poems are rendered in Finnish, inviting the viewer to feel how lived moments resonate in two languages.
"With this world, this lawn, this us, this very breath
Frailed as a quillet of philosophy
Improbable as a dream
As the breath you might have taken –"

What is the place where you are supposed to be? Is it a home, a workplace, or a specific state of mind? Is it a process or people? We are going to explore different strategies people use to find a sense of belonging.
In the ‘Kitsch und Kunst’ boudoir/ateljé of successful fashionista Petra von Kant, only beauty is allowed. The countess’s relationships with her faithful and adoring maid Marlene, with her submissive bestie Sidonie, with her excitable daughter Gabi and with her distant mother Valerie are established, exploitative, and comfortable. But soft! What light from yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Karin is the disrupter! From love at first sight, though jealousy, conflict, music, and yes, floods of bitter tears, can the course of love run true? Can Petra can pull herself out of her spiral of alcoholism and despair, and reboot her relationships with the women in her life, or lose everything…?
