Labyrinths
Labyrinth works are the heart of Recover Laboratory. The series of works started with a labyrinth built in the Köys Theatre in Turku in 2014, and since then RecLab has been creating underground labyrinths in more and more unusual spaces at regular intervals.
Labyrinth is the work of a collective specialising in multi-art, site-specific and participatory works, combining contemporary circus, contemporary art and experientialism. Labyrinth is a place designed to guide the thoughts of the experiencer to the unknown and to guide their focus to themselves. In labyrinths, the fourth wall is broken and the viewer-performer relationship is transformed, as the experiencer moves at their own pace inside the site-specific piece. The trip is a personal experience, during which you can participate in the work as you wish. In the labyrinth, you will encounter both visual art and live performers – at your preferred level of interaction.

“Above all, however, the encounter was something I had unknowingly longed for. It felt strangely good to be seen and to interact safely and quietly with a stranger. The need to be seen and the fear of being seen, on the other hand, are, I suppose, inbuilt human qualities.”
