Kajo
E.J.collective is a dance collective founded by two dance students of the Arts Academy, Ella Nevainen and Jenny Luomajoki. Kajo moves at the interface of silence and movement, carrying the memories of a previous encounter. The work has become a choreographic tapestry that exudes a subtle echo of presence. Kajo is a breathing moment of encounter that remains alive even within the form. Now the moment is repetitive, but still fragile.
Time: 20.00, duration 20min
Where: Köysiratagalleria

Karaboudjan, a psych-rock band from Turku
Karaboudjan lives strongly in the moment and improvisation plays a big role at the gig. Karaboudjan takes its listeners on a psychedelic expedition into the unknown and dark, but also warm and dreamlike summer nights.
