Parantava astia – Healing Bowl, performance 23.11.2018, XS vol. 10, Kutomo, Turku.
Collaboration with performance artists Essi Kausalainen and Florian Feigl. A performance for three two legged with support structures, sound system, text and modified sound masses. The title of the piece refers to a healing tradition that operates on resonance produced by specific frequencies. It refers to a bowl both as an instrument and as a vessel for combining and mixing different elements.
Healing Bowl is an illogical performance of the cyclic movement of water, mutations and co-vibration – communication on cellular level. It climbs up the mountain hill, trickles down as sweat, words and streams of sounds. It changes its shape like water evaporating, accumulating and crystallizing. The state of co-vibration is reached when an entity is exposed to the frequency of external force. When the vibrating frequency of systems, such as magnetic fields, machines, structures, bodies or singing bowls, is same or almost the same, resonance occurs. The meeting amplifies the vibration into a particularly large movement, which force can be destructive or healing alike.
Human ear recognizes the vibration of the bowl as harmonies, though sound is also touch and movement. It travels through matter in waves, like water or slime, connecting bodies in distance. Sound clusters into vocables, languages and harmonies, into meanings that gather and dissolve like clouds, building up to downpours and floods. The resonating body is a porous container that leaks. Due to its watery consistency it connects to a larger cycle extending in space and time, yet keeping its shape.
