Kauri Honkakoski Company: HINTERLAND

A glimpse of the wasteland of our minds - the landscape where we like to store our long shadows.

A community perseveres under dire circumstances on no man’s land, blind to the consequences of its own actions. A show emerging from our time but created in a timeless style, Hinterland explores painful collective themes in tragicomical tones.

The show was created through the art of Corporeal Mime, a form of physical theatre rarely seen in Finland. The starting point was a collection of sombre short stories by Samuel Beckett written immediately after the Second World War.

Kauri Honkakoski Company is an internationally awarded physical theatre group. They are known for their atmospheric shows that combine rich physical expression with deep human themes. Hinterland features the Company’s talented international ensemble.
