Oskari Turpeinen & Kinetic Orchestra: Block – Maybe We Go Out

Dance, music, acrobatics and theatre blend together to illustrate just how frightening and uncertain life can be without the security of a home and friends.

What happens to three friends whose lives have become stuck at home? They have grand visions of the future, but the sense of security provided by home and concerns about changes in life keep them firmly glued to the sofa at home.

Dreams, fears and impatience are constantly churning away in the back of the minds of these friends who are cooped up at home. Time slips by and drags on, and the home, the furniture, the dreams and the residents are rearranged time and again, and there always seems to be something better to do than face the future. They really ought to get out some time, but they just cannot seem to manage it.

The main themes of the performance are reaching adulthood and uncertainty about the future, and it is aimed specifically at teenagers and young adults. The work combines dance, circus, live music and theatre.

The performance features dancer and choreographer Oskari Turpeinen, dancer Mikko Makkonen and musician Eetu Hölttä. The creative team also includes sound designer Josu Mämmi, lighting designer Lauri Hietanen, dancer Iiro Näkki and choreography assistant Sanni Giordani.
