Hazmat Hole is a short, interdisciplinary contemporary live art performance for one spectator at a time.
Hazmat Hole is a hybrid of self-made labyrinth and spatial installation. It’s a adventurous, mystical and highly intimate mental and concrete route that each spectator experiences alone through the perfomance space.
The main performers are a close-up ballet dancer (Saga Elgland) and a light piece “Metempsychosis”(Jere Suontausta), combined with visual elements, video, music and sonic art. The spectator and the live performer get unusually close to one another, while remaining equally far apart, due to the plastic walls between them.
The aspects of hygience and distancing have been taken into account while planning this performance during COVID-19 pandemic. These requirements are also entwined in the visual, artistic and technical aspects of the performance.
