Driving towards the rain

Dance, music and poetry meet each other in this physical, English/Finnish bilingual exploration of Adrian Goldman’s writing.
"Driving towards the rain/Ajaen kohti sadetta" is a unique bilingual poetic/movement/music physical encounter that breathes through Adrian Goldman’s writing of the last 22 years. The work evokes the mundane, insignificant, frail moments that nevertheless make us who we are. Who is it that we encounter in going back to those moments; a (past?) version of our self, or a fellow traveller? The movement of two dancers and the sound of the clarinet interact with the poetry. Space is given for sound and movement to emerge in the moment. Parts of the poems are rendered in Finnish, inviting the viewer to feel how lived moments resonate in two languages.
"With this world, this lawn, this us, this very breath
Frailed as a quillet of philosophy
Improbable as a dream
As the breath you might have taken –"
Concept / Adrian Goldman & Marjukka Savolainen
Dance / Adrian Goldman & Katariina Harjunpää
Texts / Adrian Goldman
Music / John Millar
