With difficult past, they face the ocean, each other and ultimately one\u2019s self, making a brave journey to the innermost solitude of the human mind. Presented by an emerging theatre group Myllyteatteri, whose \u201cdiverse group gathered from different parts of the world brings forward a very unique atmosphere, local yet universal, archaic yet contemporary\u201d, Saari is an ascetic and intensive theatre performance which explores the themes of solitude and death. Artistically it especially celebrates the art of the actor.<\/p>\n<p>In the fully composed performance the spoken languages are Finnish, English and Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Running time: 1 hour 20 minutes<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/yoyoyuko#p\/u\/0\/wyJuEmvERC0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u25ba Katso 2 minuutin p\u00e4tk\u00e4 Fringest\u00e4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/yoyoyuko#p\/u\/1\/JJZXSBhc4ik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u25ba Katso 15 minuutin p\u00e4tk\u00e4 Fringest\u00e4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h8kgSnfPra8&amp;t=17s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nThe Island promo<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=votSHJ3zLhA&amp;t=2s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\nThe Island on Espa Stage 2009<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/miirasippola\/docs\/k_siohjelma_saari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Actors on stage:<\/strong> Kaisa Niemi and Yuko Takeda<br \/>\n<strong>Composer:<\/strong> Johanna Juhola<br \/>\n<strong>Sound design:<\/strong> Johanna Storm<br \/>\n<strong>Light and visual design:<\/strong> Jani-Matti Salo<br \/>\n<strong>Director and script:<\/strong> Miira Sippola<br \/>\n<strong>Costumes and scenography:<\/strong> Paula Koivunen<br \/>\n<strong>Producer:<\/strong> Katri Muhonen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myllyteatteri.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/saari1_800x533-300x200.png\" data-fancybox=\"uael-gallery\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"no\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myllyteatteri.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/saari1_800x533-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myllyteatteri.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/saari2_800x533-300x200.png\" data-fancybox=\"uael-gallery\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"no\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.myllyteatteri.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/saari2_800x533-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
