Myllyteatteri reached the aniversary of 15 years in 2018. The anniversary performance was held in STOA on Dec 1st and 2nd.

It gathered on the stage the artists and core characters from all the past fifteen years. The carusel-like stage of the mind took the spectator through the philosophy of the theatre and the art of the theatre group, to the cliffls of the award-winning Kolga performance.

”Myllyteatteri founded in 2003 is a camelboots-theatre in the filed of Helsinki free theatre. The company is known for its visual-musical stage language and innovative productions.

”Myllyteatteri was born from the vision in theatre and performance art in which the human physics and music combine, to created the mind on stage. The context of our theatre is the visual-physical theatre of European auteur-directors and performers. During the years the right people and methods to make this possible was found through a persistent search. We got the stage to play music.” – Miira Sippola, artistic director 2003-18
