Ordinary Matters - Performance Demo and Discussion

Dancer Heli Keskikallio is working in the Theatre Museum's artist residency programme in August, continuing her solo work Ordinary Matters, which premiered in Helsinki in November-December 2025. She is developing the piece towards an installation-like, extended performance event that audiences can experience at their own pace, leaving and returning as they wish.

The work series is inspired by still-life paintings, traditionally known in Finland as "hiljaiselo". Keskikallio brings herself, everyday objects, and materials to the stage - the work explores the quiet relationships between humans and the material world, and how ordinary things function as silent companions in life.

22.8.2026, 14.00-16.00. The demo performance lasts approximately one hour, followed by a discussion with the artist. Admission with Theatre Museum ticket (16/8/6 €) or museum card.
