LOST
LOST is an interdependent use of the choir on stage, a journey into a collective subconscious and a surreal reflection on the state of being lost. We are not trying to solve anything – it is a recognition that we are just heading for our children’s doom.
“At Uniarts Helsinki Theatre Academy, during my master’s studies, I can take safe space and time where I don’t need to solve anything or add positivity on stage or into the world. I can use the stage to research the feeling of destroying my child’s future while doing my best to stop me from accomplishing it. Lost emerged from my cry of helplessness.” Simba Siim Maaten.
Duration: 1h 15min.
