'I still don't know whether a protagonist of Lia Haraki's practice is herself or energy that makes the self happen. Or an energy that depersonalises us in an intimate act that discards the notion of a protagonist itself. Practicing electro-muscular vibration with her is where I would like to send most anxious visitors (those that fear of missing things out and keep following 'the next thing') of oO to. They could experiment with new states of collective embodied identity at the pace of the pulse.' Raimundas Malašauskas, Curator of Oo (Cyprus & Lithuania pavilions in the 55th Venice Biennale)
Πρόκειται για ένα έντονο ταξίδι, μία trans επί σκηνής διαδρομή, όπου ο χώρος και ο χρόνος καταλύονται. Υπάρχει μόνο το τώρα. Σε ένα μινιμαλιστικό περιβάλλον, παίρνοντας στοιχεία από τους χορούς των πρωτόγονων αλλά και τα μεταφυσικά «ταξίδια» των σαμάνων, με έναν επαναλαμβανόμενο ήχο που σταδιακά επιταχύνεται, αποκτά ρυθμό και ένταση, η χορογράφος – ερμηνεύτρια παρασύρεται σε μία βύθιση στον εαυτό της και, τελικά, σε ένα ταξίδι που την ξεπερνά και τη συντονίζει με το σύμπαν.

Tune In by Lia Haraki and Pandelis Diamantides is a contemporary dance performance based on realtime algorithmic composition system. In this performance the aim of the artist was to allow movement to be created from being, to silence the thinking mind and tune in to the breath and the beating heart. From a point of silence, the performer tunes in to the movement within and allows it to extend to the outside, embodying the everlasting present with her presence.
The artist was interested in exploring how motion brings emotion and how by witnessing this process one can reach a new state of being.
The solo ‘Tune In’ is the second of a series of works with research on how repetition can stimulate a kinesthetic response (‘Again’ 2011-Old Music New Dance project-Poland, ‘INTUNITION' a full evening piece-premier October 2012). In ‘Tune In’ the artist explored how motion brings emotion and how by witnessing this process one can reach a new state of being.
Following the success of Tune In I have collaborated on another two dance performances with .pelma.Lia Haraki INTUNITION (2012) and The Shape of Necessity (2013).
