The two monodramas, "Nothing to Declare" composed by Perttu Haapanen and "Λελελε Lelele" by Lotta Wennäkoski are set to appear at several international festivals following their Helsinki premieres on February 5 (with a second staging set for Feb 7). The works, also featuring director Tomi Paasonen ("Nothing to Declare") and visual artist Elina Brotherus ("Λελελε Lelele") with leading roles by Pia Freund and Nicholas Isherwood, respectively, will begin their series of international appearances at Berlin's MaerzMusik in March.
