The art festival, which takes place over the weekend for the fourth time, uses theatre, dance and music to reflect on what it means to live on the margins, away from different centres and the mainstream.
Through theatre, dance and music, the festival will reflect on what it means to live on the margins, away from different centres and the mainstream. Is it ultimately a matter of choice or necessity?
There is also plenty to think about the urgency of life. Today, when people expect services to be quickly available, Schroderus says that people living in the periphery have to adjust to the fact that the whole rhythm of life is different.
– I remember when Osula’s shop van was six hours late from Vuokinperu. The newspaper editor wondered if you weren’t getting scared already, but people said it was nothing, as long as it would come,” Schroderus laughs.
– The idea of \u200b\u200bthe whole festival is also community spirit. In a small town, encounters happen even by force, when the performers and the audience don’t get lost in the hum of the city. The discussion continues after the presentations, and if the presentations do not provide answers, they may come in later encounters.
