Sooloteoksia

Sooloteoksia refers to artistic works created for a single performer. This term is most commonly used in music and performing arts. In music, a sooloteos is a composition designed for a solo instrument or voice, often showcasing the virtuosity and expressive capabilities of the individual musician. These can range from a solo piano piece to a concerto for a single instrument with orchestral accompaniment, where the solo part is central to the work.

In the context of dance, a sooloteos is a solo performance, a choreographed piece for one dancer. These solos can be part of a larger ballet or contemporary dance production, or they can stand alone as a complete work. The dancer's individual artistry, technique, and interpretation are paramount in a sooloteos. Similarly, in theater, a one-person show, also known as a monologue or solo performance, can be considered a sooloteos. These performances often involve an actor delivering a narrative or exploring a character's thoughts and experiences alone on stage. The term emphasizes the singular focus on the performer and their ability to carry the entire work.
