Ilona Jäntti (FI): TO EVERY CLOUD
To Every Cloud uses the techniques of rope and silk on metal wire. The performance explores the relationship of the body and the material, of hard and soft; how the body leaves a trace on the metal and the metal on the body.
The project was shortlisted for Cirkus Next 2013-2014 scheme under the title "Silver Lining".
On Cirkobalkana 6 festival Ilona will perform her solo extract of the show.
