A new basic exhibition called It’s Showtime has opened in the Theater Museum. The exhibition opens the performance process from the idea through the preparation and rehearsal phase to the moment of performance and beyond.

PAST EVENTS
TRIPIT! -EXERCISE FESTIVAL
Peace Tripit! -workshop on wednesday 10.6. at 5-8 pm at Suvilahti Square, Helsinki
In the legendary TRIPIT! -Exercise Festival we prepared ourselves for Peace! The Festival was held as a workshop where we made collective corporeal movements, “Acts of Peace” outside in Suvilahti square. The acts were accompanied and the atmosphere is enhanced by live brass orchestra.
How does peace look and feel like? Peace does not come about simply by being calm or doing nothing. It must be invented over and over again, alone and together.

See here how the space changed during the exhibition!
