This visually and musically distinctive performance tells the story of a lonely monster child, Greige, setting off on a sea adventure with an ever-optimistic bird singing in colours. Soon, it becomes clear that the bird is not as trustworthy as Greige hoped. Stranded on a deserted islet, the two must overcome their differences in order to get back home.

Thematically, the work explores loneliness and the longing to be heard. It follows Greige’s journey of growth and the discovery of their own voice.

Katveisto is an interactive audio walk taking place in Kontula, where a local guide takes you on a walk. As you walk with your guide, wearing headphones, you will hear the stories, feelings and memories of local people collected over a year, set along a route that you will take together.

The work is an intimate and immersive experience built on fragmented observations of everyday life and a dialogue between stories and the urban environment. How are emotions attached to places? How does a place shape us? How do emotional journeys differ and why?
