MELLERI & TÖLLI

SHOWNUMBER IN PROGRESS Kutomo Residency Ehkä-production with Sara Melleri

Actor, director and performer Sara Melleri and poet and performer Elsa Tölli worked at Ehkä-production's residency at Contemporary Art Space Kutomo in the last weeks of May.

"There is an electric wire.
Thunderbolt is about to happen.
Fresh performer is being born,
Horrendous.
Every word is spat out like a kiss.
We have been an audience for each other.
Please, stop throwing bouquets
at me"

We explore and challenge our own taste in performance, stage speech, and spoken poetry. For example, Elsa has performed a slow-motion bedtime routine and Sara made a shownumber out of Karita Mattila's tweet. We turned this Kutomo residency into our very own Grey Gardens cabaret."
