TANSSIVA LUKUTOUKKA

Choreography and performer: Maikki Palm
(performer 1.11. Riikka Tolonen)

”Mystisen koominen hahmo Lukutoukka on koreografinen sooloteos kirjastoja rakastavasta tarina-ahmatista. Kirjastoautossa matkaava ja mennessään tanssiliikkeisiin uppoutuva Tanssiva Lukutoukka vierailee Joensuulaisten arjessa marraskuussa. Esitys on oodi kirjastolaitoksen monipuolisuudelle ja tiedon saannille. Kestollinen tanssiteos sopii kaiken ikäisille kirjastoautolla vieraillessa. ”
