IN REPERTOIRE
KASVU JA KUKOISTUS
The multidisciplinary butoh performance Kasvu ja kukoistus depicts the time of year when nature is in its fullest bloom, midsummer. The performance is also a celebration of aging, as we can continue to grow and bloom throughout different stages of life, if circumstances so allow.
The piece visits the world of performance art, but keeps its roots firmly in butoh dance.
Minja Mertanen is an established butoh artist, dance teacher, dance/movement therapist and yoga instructor. Currently she is studying somatic movement therapy. Mertanen works in the performing arts field at Reality Research Centre, in Other Spaces Live Art collective and Höyhentämö. In addition, Mertanen performs and teaches butoh in Finland and internationally, and is the co-artistic director of Helsinki Butoh Festival.

THE ARTIST IS AT HOME
Kati Korosuo’s solo performance The Artist Is at Home is a banal spectacle from a narcissistic artist for a scandal yearning audience. Documentary footage and use of self as material are highlighted in its egocentricity to the point of annoyance. Our time is a stage, on which everything has already been said and done, shown and seen. What can the body of the performer still reflect?

HUNTER-GATHERES
Sat July 30 – Sun August 7 2022
Hermanninranta, Kalasatama (map)
What is it like to live in the city with a Stone Age mindset? What kind of “nature” is it if you look at it like a forest or a mammoth steppe? What kind of spirits and creatures move there? How are the ancestors present? What is a map like when it consists of stories? What game is there in the city and how do you catch it?
Hunter-gatherers is a communal experiment and a utopian art project where a band of urban hunter-gatherers live in their camp in Kalastama, Helsinki from July 30 to August 7 2022. Anybody can join.
Children are also welcome, and there is a person responsible for children’s participation on the team.
You can visit the camp and participate in its life simply by dropping by between 10 AM and 8 PM. You can call beforehand: 041 745 2610
Team: Aarni Korpela, Riikka Vuorenmaa, Akseli Aittomäki, Emma Aleksa Virta
