        Programme Note

        Laila, an interactive work created by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Paula Vesala, Tuomas Norvio and the Ekho Collective for the Finnish National Opera rejects the traditional roles of performing arts, as its mu-sic and visuality evolve and change in interaction with the audience. In Laila, you are not the audi-ence, but one of many actors shaping reality. Laila is a unique experience, which is different every time.

        Ekho Collective is a group of artists, designers and technology professionals, who specialize in de-signing and implementing immersive experiences. The multidisciplinary collective works at the in-tersection of art and technology, with the objective of bringing them together in unexpected ways. Members of the collective are Minja Axelsson, Heikki Heiskanen, Essi Huotari, Olli Kilpi, Saara-Henriikka Mäkinen, Joonas Nissinen and Iina Taijonlahti.

        Laila is a production of the Opera Beyond ecosystem, which collides arts with emerging technolo-gies.
