"So how do you do in Finland? Well it depends when you're asking"




Our first performance in collaboration entitled "So how do you do in Finland? Well it depends when you're asking" was presented in Sirkka on 11.9.2015.

It is a piece in 6 acts, that deals with the tides of identity and culture, in an omelette of situations of current affairs and personal experiences.

Act1 – Introductions: M holds a chorizo. R holds the horns of an elk.

Act2 – Please Be Tolerant: M sits in front of the chorizo and says to it in Finnish "I am tolerant, you are tolerant, he/she is..." R with the elk's horns emulates the movements of a bull.

Act3 – The Song: M sings a Basque song and R sings a Lappish song at the same time.

Act4 – Multicultural Multinational: M and R sit together. They eat pizza and drink beer from major brands.

Act5 – Papers: M buries his passport. R tapes her passport to her face.

Act6 – Opening Doors: M and R take turns in opening the front doors of two near-by buildings.
