RIINA MAIDRE, ANDRI LUUP“Yokoonomatopoems" in Tartu

Kanuti Gildi SAAL is coming to Tartu from the 18th until the 23rd of April and bringing along four performances: “For your Nirvana” by Karolin Poska, “Yokoonomatopoems” by Riina Maidre and Andri Luup, “The Well” by Maria Metssalu and “Pure Pink Pox”, a performance premiering in Tartu, by The Biofilm Sisters. A week filled with performances, artistic talks and a performative pop-up bookstore make up a festival called Switch over which is like a mixtape created with love from Tallinn to Tartu. All components of this intense week examine the possibilities and impossibilities of performing arts from different angles. Everyone can find their personal way or even a portal to better understand and experience art.

By buying two tickets to the same event a 5€ discount will apply.

“Yokoonomatopoems” is a concert, which centers around a post. An exhibition, which has a dot in the middle. A shelf, which has things on.

Yoko Ono is a multimedia artist, a musician, a film maker and a messenger of peace. Her first works of performance date back to the 60's Fluxus scene. Also check out: #cutpiece #grapefruit #imaginepiece #wishtree #warisover #onobox #iloveyouearth
