Journey to Hampampam
Children's dance theater piece 'Jounrey to Hampampam' is based on a book called 'Land called Hampampam' by author Ville Hytönen. Poetic language, and its illustrations are full of surprises that invites imagination to travel to absurd, new worlds.
The stories emphasize equality, the importance of communication and empathy. Dance and theater communicate with the book's fairy tales, forming a bubbly dance experience for the whole family!

Forgotten Rocks
Five creatures, living in an abandoned place. The childlike curiosity keeps them away from reality. Wondering, they enjoy being lost. In this chaotic and complex place they find comfort for themselves. Through memories and sensations, they float in timelessness. Finding no way out, they play and encounter sisterhood. Through the journey they return to the beginning, to the solitude that is always present.
Garden Gatherings
A group of people encountering different situations in a garden. When surrealism takes part, these characters dive in to miserable situations.

Sinking into nostalgia, finding comfort from each others, they go through shared memories. Time passing they realise all the little details of their paths that brought them to the present.
Illusions
A battle between reality and imagined. What it is that makes something real for us? What do you see when you look at me? Do you know that it is real, or do you imagine?
They can't hear
We think there's calm sea around us, until our our unconsciousness distracts us.
Four creatures, trying to communicate their inner worlds, wishes, desires and fears. Without sound, can they be heard?
Hidden Beliefs
And if I knew what was your reality, would it make it different?
A solo work travelling in different realities, making the character confused about imagined and reality. What do we see as real and what do we colour with our imagination?
