Strong and empathic solo performance about finding one’s own strength
POHJATAR is a performance about feminine power. It embraces femininity by telling the story of Louhi from the perspective of women. Louhi is a mythological matriarch from Finnish folklore. She is the ruler of death and destruction and has multiple counterparts in different cultures all over the world. In Pohjatar physical expression and visuality intertwine into a scenic metaphor, spiced up with puppetry and a touch of black humour.
The world of Pohjatar is built from paper, a strong, yet fragile material where life has left heavy stains and marinated memories. Pohjatar is a multi-layered performance that interprets bodily selfautonomy and infertility. Above all, it is a story of daring to rise beyond the given part and where the courage to take over one’s own story and life comes to the spotlight. Pohjatar finds light in the shadows, joy in the sorrow and consolation in the desolation.
