Survivors – a new production
In December 2020 we started stage rehearsals in Denmark for a new creation Survivors. During this spring we have worked on the piece in Copenhagen and Århus where we visited the Bora Bora residence in April. Survivors is stage creation for two actors produced by the Finnish-Danish Location X. In the production Anna Lipponen performs and is also the author of the text combined with the movement language created by choreographer Taneli Törmä. The scenography is designed by Petri Tuhkanen.
Survivors will be premiered in Copenhagen at Teater Får 302 on October 5th 2021. Later in autumn the piece will be shown also in Odense at Dynamo theatre. Studio Total produces the show to Finland in spring 2022.
