Miika Hyytiäinen: Symbol – Body

Symbol-Body is a transdisciplinary music theatre piece about the process of creating and reading notation, but also about work as an artist. The text material of the piece is based on the diaries, writings and discussions we collected as part of the creative process, which are then transformed into absurd video scenes. The musical core is the dissonance of the same or similar music, which is notated in different ways and then interpreted by different singers. 3D scans of the performers are a source of true Gesamtkunstwerk: they are used as notation, video art, staging, costume and even choreography.
