Nopeussokeus / Speed Blindness

Nopeussokeus is new magic. It is a groundbreaking solo performance depicting the long seconds when a body and a machine collide. Nopeussokeus seeks interfaces between cinema and stage magic by creating on a theater stage scenes, that we are accustomed to seeing only in still pictures or in a film in slow motion. Kalle Hakkarainen’s solo creates a hypnotic tension with its mixture of magic and visual arts. Music composed for the performance by Samuli Kosminen.

Can be performed in a double bill night with Mortimer.
