About this concert
Vilma Talvitie and Alice in WonderBand introduce an interesting dialogue between Nordic ice and Balkan fire, with a touch of their own compositions and arrangements. The concert presents the simplest, yet revolutionary way of making music with the human body.
The traditional and author’s songs are revitalised stories that take us on the road around the world. Energetic stage performance, the joy of improvisation, and strong non-verbal and physical communication and interaction between the band members and the audience create an intense, yet heartwarming atmosphere.
Serbian Balkan body music duo and Finnish performing artist and singer-pianist already collaborated at the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival and in Bahnhof Leisnig in Germany. They join the talents in a new song on the upcoming album of AWb.

Suomalainen esiintyvä artisti laulaja-pianisti Vilma Talvitie ja serbialainen kehomusiikkiduo Alice in WonderBand tapasivat toisensa pienessä tuvassa serbialaisessa metsässä marraskuussa 2023.
Nyt he luovat yhdessä kiinnostavaa vuoropuhelua pohjoismaisen ja balkanilaisen musiikin välillä, ammentaen kulttuuriensa musiikkitraditioista, ja maustaen kansanlauluja omilla sävellyksillään ja sovituksillaan. Moniaistisess esityksessä kuullaan musiikin tekemisen yksinkertaisin — mutta vallankumouksellinen — muoto: ihmiskeho.
Vima Talvitien ja Alice in Wonderbandin lauluissa ja kehoissa kansanlaulut heräävät eloon tarinoina ja moderneina tulkintoina, jotka vievät meidät matkalle maailman ympäri. Energinen lavaesiintyminen, teatterimaailman vaikutteet, improvisaation ilo sekä vahva monialainen sanaton ja sanallinen kommunikointi esiintyjien ja yleisön välillä luovat intensiiviteetin joka ei voi jättää kylmäksi.

Alice in WonderBand Biography
Alice in WonderBand is a duo of performers bringing together world music and odd beats from the Balkans with body music and body percussion. Ana Vrbaški and Marko Dinjaški are performing on stage in theaters and concerts and are a couple in life living in nature, near Fruška gora National park.
Their unique lifestyle brings music in connection with the body and nature. Performances are vibrating and rhythmic, powerful and energetic, a crossroads of dance, stage movement and music. Deep, primordial experience takes the audience on a journey through the Balkans as well as to the depths of the being. Performers create a singing and clapping community with the audience, feeling rooted, grounded and inspired.
The band performs songs in eleven languages, around Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Turkey etc) and the ex-Yugoslav region. They prove that in the eternally stormy Balkan area there is a unity through culture, music, movement, which brings understanding and reconciliation. They are currently in the MOST Balkan Music Export program.
Press quotes
“The Alice in WonderBand duo are constantly chasing through exciting landscapes of art, creativity, ideas and projects like a rushing train… always original and inspiring.”
Marija Vitas, Magazine Etnoumlje, World Music Association, Serbia
“What this duo celebrated and performed on stage was grandiose. These artists use only their bodies and voices as musical instruments. Nothing more. But they do it with such energy, knowingly and persuasively, that their act is also a very amusing and interesting pleasure, that in the same time has depth. What they offer is pure energy, rhythm in its primordial form.”
Peter Kees, Süddeutsche Zeitung
“Emphasizing voice and rhythm, Ana and Marko, with effective arrangements and performance, take us back to the ancient past, when these were the basic means of expression through music. Surprisingly, such a reduced sound expression also creates the effect of displaced, different, avant-garde, even contemporary.”
Nikola Glavinić, Music Information Centre of Serbia
“(Their) authenticity is magical, and what amazes the most are the countless possibilities of body rhythm. The audience is fascinated, delighted, wanting more and wanting to postpone the end of this performance as much as possible, as the performance draws us in.”
