NOIR?, directed by Sonya Lindfors, is a collaboration between six Helsinki-based artists focusing on blackness, black identities, prefixes and spaces between spaces. The performance, made with uncompromising hip hop attitude, "doesn't shy away from the troublespots of Afro-Finnish identity, exploring issues such as rootlessness, shame and difference." (Jonni Aromaa, YLE News)
In NOIR? the only Afro-Finnish dance artists of the Helsinki contemporary dance scene, Sonya Lindfors, Esete Sutinen and Ima Iduozee, team up with actor-rap artist Gracias to explore their identities and backgrounds as human beings, Finnish citizens and artists while constantly drawing on their extensive backgrounds in dance, theatre and hip hop.
NOIR? premiered in December 2013 to great critical acclaim and broke all audience records in Zodiak. The new performances of NOIR? take place in Kanneltalo and in Stoa in Itäkeskus.
Tickets are sold via City of Helsinki Cultural Office.
