Hietsu is Happening! enters into world’s new political settings by recalling cold war state at its worst. Because none of the performers was born in the night’s theme year 1955 it is necessary to use artistic licence.
Cellist and diversified performer Juho Laitinen interprets John Cage’s classic “Speech 1955” composed for five radios and a newsreader. Pianist Seppo Kantonen, prophetically born nine days before John F. Kennedy’s assassination, eases the show of DJ H-rusT and DJ D-whyT D. The evening ends with Laitinen, Kantonen and event’s curators Petri Kumela, Mikko Innanen and Antti Lötjönen examining atmospheres of Albert Einstein’s and Charlie Parker’s death year through 21st century’s futuristic viewpoint.
