Welcome to HALO !
HALO is an artistic collective formed by Estonian director-choreographer Teet Kask and voice-violist Kristjan Kannukene.
HALO creates performing arts experiences that evoke peace, protection and moral goodness, inspiring personal growth and reconnecting us with our inner spirituality. Like a halo formed when light is refracted through crystals, our work transforms light, space, movement and sound into moments of clarity, presence and connection.
Teet Kask is an acclaimed Estonian born director, choreographer, educator, and performer whose interdisciplinary work bridges ballet, contemporary dance, physical theatre, opera, and visual dramaturgy. Known for combining strong physicality with poetic imagery and conceptual depth, he has created productions for major theatres and festivals nationally and internationally, collaborating across dance, music, theatre, and visual arts.
Kask’s artistic language is deeply influenced by mythology and sacred narratives, particularly parables and allegories, which he reinterprets through a contemporary lens to explore moral, philosophical, and spiritual questions. His work often examines the relationship between body, ritual, transformation, and collective memory, merging movement, narrative, and visual symbolism into immersive performative experiences.
Alongside his artistic practice, Kask has played an active role in arts education and cultural leadership, including serving as creative director and leadership group member of Tallinn College of Music and Ballet (MUBA) and as visiting lecturer at Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EAMT). His work consistently challenges conventional boundaries between artistic disciplines while seeking new forms of embodied contemporary expression.
Kristjan Kannukene contributes a sonic dimension that moves between music, voice, and ritual. Trained across Europe and working at the intersection of sound, performance, and visual symbolism, his practice transforms the viola and voice into a single expressive instrument.
His music is not accompaniment but presence responding to movement in real time, shaping atmosphere, and opening emotional resonance. Drawing on sacred and primal impulses, Kannukene’s soundscape amplifies the performers physical dialogue, making the invisible breath, tension, memory audible.
