Dawn

About

Dawn is a dance creation by Finnish choreographer Milla Koistinen and Unusual Symptoms. Its central subject is hope understood as a collective practice rather than as a promise. The production draws on rituals, physical labour, and gestures of maintenance, placing hope and grief, joy and rage, passion and fatigue in relation to one another. The movement vocabulary includes digging, swinging a scythe, cutting grain, and pulling on ropes. The set and lighting are by Ladislav Zajac; costumes are by Kristina Jagodic; sound design and music are by Paul Valikoski; and dramaturgy is by Marta Keil.
