Nothing to Declare & Λελελε Lelele

Finnish National Opera, The Almi Hall

Two monodramas, two works exploring the soulscape of its leading characters.

Routine office work becomes an almost grotesque experience in the hands of choreographer Tomi Paasonen and composer Perttu Haapanen. Lelele by photographer Elina Brotherus and composer Lotta Wennäkoski in turn addresses the stark reality of human trafficking.

These brand-new works are a unique demonstration of the fine collaboration between young artists well on their way to international fame.
