This duet performed by Zodiak’s house choreographer Veli Lehtovaara and Portuguese dancer Maria Ferreira Silva is a choreographic collage delving into Roman Catholic iconography and Christian myth. Well-known biblical images, characters and events are presented in mould-breaking ways, yielding unexpected insights into the relationship between iconography and choreography. Bringing together dancers from protestant Finland and catholic Portugal, it is a meeting of two cultures, offering two different perspectives on Christian tradition. The piece explores its theme in a respectful yet playful manner.
