How to work with chaos, absurdity and site-specific creation? Pasi Mäkelä invites you to take a look into his artistic process and share the principles that have shaped his most important works. Through improvisation, physical theatre and sound art, he seeks ways to combine structure with freedom and to give shape to even seemingly random situations. What is the place of ritual, chance or instinct in performance work? And when is it best to just let things flow?

The artist talk will include a workshop inspired by the FUGK project - Finno-Ugric Garage Kabuki, which combines elements of Japanese kabuki with garage aesthetics and Finno-Ugric roots. Pasi Mäkelä works with the body as an instrument, voice as music and space as a scenario. Come explore the boundaries between the rational and the irrational, between order and madness - and find out what happens when you venture into the unknown.

Running time: cca 150 minutes

Artist talk will be held in English.
