Woman in the mirror

“STORIES ABOUT IMPARTIALITY, PARTICIPATION, JOY, FREEDOM, PREJUDICE, FEAR AND LOVE.”

Finland in 2022. The regular sauna booking has gathered the women together once again. There are more participants than before. They are cooling themselves off in the pleasurable post-sauna atmosphere. The audience is invited to hear the private, confidential and touching life stories of women immigrants now living in Finland. The performance consists of multidisciplinary portraits of those women. The portraits are created by a visual artist, dancers and musicians.

Woman in a Mirror premiere on 20.10.2022 at 19.00 at Malmitalo.

A second performance at the same venue on 25.10. 2022 at 19.00.

Woman in the Mirror is a three-year project (2020-22) familiarizing the audience with fates of women living in our society.

The project aims to visualise the hidden female culture in Finland through art. The work is based on meetings and interviews of women of different ages and of various cultural backgrounds and it is intended for creative artistic collaboration.
