Faravid’s Land
Faravid’s Land is a work that combines theatre, dance, and contemporary circus to create a semi-fictional, mythical past for Oulu. Through its mix of fantasy and imagined realities the work takes on such themes as roots and identity.
Faravid’s Land takes place in the mythical Kvenland. Through its mix of fantasy and imagined realities the work takes on such themes as stories and storytelling, roots, identity, and locality. It tells the tale of ruthless and at times desperate survival. What bargains are we willing to strike with ourselves and our environment to find and keep happiness? Do we not miss a ruler to reign over us? Or, in their absence, do we not want at least some comforting or amusing tale that would explain our world and make it all right?
Our impact to Culture-
climate change
For the audience, the immersive work empowers and liberates their performance experience – through their own choices, viewers build a personal path through the work. This breaks down the hierarchy between creators and viewers. Intimacy, multisensory experiences, and comprehensiveness make the work feel very personal and unique. This, in turn, strengthens the interaction between creators and viewers.
The collective working method of the artist group creates an opportunity to share ownership of the work and to experience a stronger sense of community among the artists.
