In an ever-changing and chaotic world, a meeting occurs: a duo seeks to measure, map, and define one another. Measuring has become an inescapable part of existence. Do we measure today to live better, or have the roles been reversed? Do we now live only to measure more effectively?
Full Measures is a visual and proportionally ambitious reckoning with the obsession of measurement. In this work, the internationally acclaimed Turku-based ensemble Falke-Lindgren-Nybom-Forsman joins forces with director Idit Herman from Clipa Theater in Tel Aviv. Utilizing unconventional techniques, the creators expand the boundaries and possibilities of object theatre.
