Milla Koistinen

Breathe

Family Friendly | Outdoor

Duration 60 min

With her solo “Breathe”, Finnish choreographer Milla Koistinen brings us to the football pitch of the Lilli­-Henoch­-Sportplatz at Anhalter Bahnhof. A lone figure in a vast, empty field, she reconstructs images of communal celebrations and ecstatic experiences, evoking the memory and sensation of the crowd. With sound by com­posers Paul Valikoski and Grégoire Simon and spacing and light design by visual artist Sandra E. Blatterer, “Breathe” collapses the distance between dispersed bodies and opens up a space for shared emotion. How can witnessing something from afar grad­ually become something we are closely part of?
