Zodiak Laboratory is Zodiak's residency concept. In May 2026, the ZodLab residency artist is Ama Kyei, together with their working group.
Ama Kyei and their working group use the residency time to work on theri new production, Walk with me.
Walk with me is a dance performance for the whole family, combining dance, visual art, sound art, and light art. The work is based on Ama Kyei’s earlier dance pieces for children, as well as the collaboration between Ama Kyei and Wanda Holopainen in Zodiak’s Good Vibes East youth project.
The performance is a journey into a secret garden — a place where light and shadow meet inside a blanket fort. In addition to a multidisciplinary artistic team, the piece features video material filmed together with the Ghanaian dance group Steeze Afrika.
Walk with me will premiere at the URB Festival at Kiasma Theatre in June 2026.
