I forgot how big my house is
Simo Heiskanen interprets Mirkka Rekola's poems by singing, reciting and dancing.
I forgot how big the house I live in is is a performance that combines movement and human voices, where the past, present and distant future meet. Mirkka Rekola's poems, recited and sung, serve as the common thread of the performance. Composed by Simo Heiskanen, the performance weaves together the transience of life and human memory. The visualisation of the work – movement and projections – creates associations that are recurring images in Rekola's poems: the moods of the sea, the changing seasons. Thanks to its linguistic and expressive complexity, the work appeals to and challenges viewers of all ages to pay attention and engage in an internal dialogue with Rekola's poetry. Like Rekola's poetry, this performance cannot be seen all at once.
