Hydropower plants
Experimental opera in a nationally significant cultural environment
The hydropower plants of river Oulu and Emä with their residential areas are almost like ”Gesamtkunswerk”, total works of art. Their coherent architecture creates a unique world of their own. The hydropower plant series explores the harnessing of the rivers from the 19th century to this day. Performances will spread to the vast area from Suomussalmi to Muhos, and you can even experience shows at the bottom of the river!
Our impact to Culture-
climate change
We are creating cultural climate change by creating opera inside and with engineers and the energy industry. The combination of industry, nature and art feels somewhat contradictory, because of politics and strong feelings, but sensitive transgression is important. Our work is to build durable and meaningful opera-theatre which comes close to the audience.
