Performed languages will be in Farsi, Spanish, Arabic, English and Finnish. Translation will be available in Finnish or English.
MUSIC:
Moritz Cartheuser is a German guitarist and improviser who bases his music on its potential to interact in terms of dialogue and monologue with the audience as well as with cooperators. He studied at the Jazz-Institut-Berlin with such great musicians as Kurt Rosenwinkel and John Hollenbeck. He has worked as a musician and composer in several projects of different genres, including dance and film.
Josué Moreno is a Spanish composer, sound artist and researcher. He has worked in a very wide range of projects which varies from purely instrumental music until sound installations, stage productions and interactive software. What defines the common ground of his artistic output is the metaphor of “sound as space/landscape to be articulated either by musicians or by process”.
HOST:
Finnish stand-up comedian and television host Joonatan Pitkänen likes to talk about the ideas that most people would rather ignore. Shining a crookedly optimistic light on current matters and society, Joonatan’s stories make us laugh at the very things that we all love to take oh-so-seriously. He will join the Poetry Night with a spoken word performance.
Length: 120 min, incl. intermission. Club Evening, Fully licensed bar. Doors open at 18.30.
