Turn Turtle Turn – Lecture Performance (12 Mar 2025)

Mar 12, 2025 | 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Työpajankatu 2, rakennus 4, 00580 Helsinki

An intimate performance about motherhood, childhood and ageing, and about the wish to be loved unconditionally and to be able to love unconditionally herself.

“I love 
Greek tragedy.
I love how they plunge us straight into the quivering state of afters.
After the tragedy comes more tragedy.
And then more. And more.”

Performer Annika Tudeer, Oblivia’s artistic director, celebrates her 60th birthday with her most personal work yet: Within a minimalist stage space, between tables and stacks of paper full of real and dreamt-of (hi)stories, she describes the uniqueness and vulnerability of her biography as an unwanted child, left behind, then adopted. 

With a forceful poetic impact, she takes the audience along on her life’s course of time for an hour – somewhere between the beginning of the world, Greek mythology and today – while choosing the audience as an intimate foil and witness to, in equal parts, almost painful “What If?” scenarios and conciliatory perspectives.
