towards a new work

Now the approaching premiere of MAP OF SCARS has started to become more and more concrete. Last week I worked with Sannamaria Kuula and this week Tuovi Rantanen joined rehearsals. What amazing, beautiful, gorgeous women, dancers and performers they are! I feel so blessed. On Sunday Pirjo Yli-Maunula will join the team. Although our rehearsal period is short, I have a very positive and confident feeling. The team includes light designer Ainu Palmu, sound designer and composer Tatu Metsäpelto and photographer Pekka Mäkinen.
This week we also got some performance costumes from Tyra Therman and I have to say that they are just stunning.

I feel like we are on our way to something very special, very beautiful, touching, intimate….

Premiere is on the 16th of November. In Kuopio, Finland.
