Theatre performances based on Tove Jansson’s life and art

Inspired by Tove Jansson’s life and art, the students and alumni of Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy bring small group performances to the Tove Jansson – Paradise exhibition. The performances blend into the exhibition and form new works beside Jansson’s pieces. Appearing unexpectedly in the exhibition halls, they follow their own rhythm from beginning to end. Languages: Finnish and Swedish.
