Shra–Erämaa
How to find a common ground, some other than this frustration, anger and powerlessness?
SHRA-ERÄMAA embodies both the differences of cultures and communities but also the similarities of people. The topic is handled through contemporary theatre and universal bodily expression that reaches viewers without linguistic barriers. The performance travels through three different realities, Siikajoki, Helsinki and Al'Arroub, through which it talks about strangeness, encountering and receiving the Other. It struggles with the question of always being stuck in the same frustration, occupation and the same unchangeable violence.
