Music-dance performance<\/h4>\n

20 October<\/strong>\u00a02024<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:00 – 16:00<\/p>\n

Maison Louis Carr\u00e9 invited Petteri Iivonen, first violin of the Paris Opera Orchestra, as well as Ida Viikinkoski and Julien Guillemard, dancers at the Paris Opera, to create a performance combining music and dance. Inside the exhibition Dialogue: min\u00e4 perhonen & Esa Vesmanen<\/em>, the Finnish and French dancers performed a pas de deux on the Chaconne<\/em> by Johann Sebastian Bach, evolving in the interior and exterior spaces of the villa.<\/p>\n

Ida Viikinkoski has named the piece Lempipaikka<\/em> which means \u201cfavorite place\u201d in Finnish. \u201cI got the inspiration for my piece when visiting the Maison Louis Carr\u00e9. Alvar Aalto\u2019s architecture reminded me instantly of my home, Finland. I was filled with warmth, happiness, so many memories and a bit of nostalgia while visiting the house. The use of wood and soft forms made me think about nature which is very important in Finland and what connects me with my home country. I was inspired by my grandparents\u2019 summer house in the archipelago with everything it reminds me of: sun, sea, waves, cliffs, family, childhood, happiness, peacefulness and love.\u201d<\/p>\n
