Tango Therapy with Heidi Kilpeläinen

The artist will sing to one person at a time. Anyone is welcome to book for Tango Therapy and can either receive a Finnish folk song or watch as others have the virtual one to one experience. The listener can also choose to sing back to the artist, in any language. Tango Therapy is an intimate and personal exchange of songs. Understanding the lyrics is not necessary: melody and sentiment cross the borders of language.

Heidi Kilpeläinen explores crossovers between visual art and music, creating combinations of video, installation art and performance. Her work is inspired by the contemporary world and its technological fascinations, as well as the ancient, mythological forms that run through collective memory.

About Od Arts Festival

Od Arts Festival returns this May, bringing exhibitions, performances, film and workshops by local and international artists to not-so-sleepy Somerset. New and specially-sited artworks will pop up around the villages of East Coker and West Coker, in cafes, halls, houses, chapels and fields, and also online for a special digital programme.

Devised before the hiatus of the global pandemic, the guiding theme for the festival of ‘Alone with Everybody’, explores loneliness. A programme of playful, experimental and performative artworks will probe different aspects of aloneness, and ask visitors to discuss how it might be liberating as well as difficult to be alone.
