NEW THEATRE HELSINKI
New Theatre Helsinki (NTH) on vuosille 2020–2022 sijoittuva esittävän taiteen hanke, jonka aikana Helsinkiin luodaan uusi esittävän taiteen kulttuuriselle moninaisuudelle omistettu esityskeskus. NTH on syntynyt tarpeesta saada yhteiskuntamme kielellinen ja kulttuurinen monimuotoisuus näkyväksi esittävän taiteen sisällöissä, tekijöissä ja yleisöissä.
New Theatre Helsinki -hankkeen päämääränä on toimia siltana ja alustana eritaustaisten esittävän taiteen ammattilaisten, moninaisten yleisöjen ja olemassa olevien teatteritalojen väliselle yhteistyölle ja kohtaamiselle. Verkostoitumisen myötä hanke ja tuleva esityskeskus luovat uusia yhteistoiminnan muotoja pääkaupunkiseudulla, koko Suomessa ja muissa Pohjoismaissa.
New Theatre Helsinki -hankkeen vastuullisina vetäjinä toimivat Helsingissä 2007 perustettu kansainvälinen teatterikollektiivi European theatre collective (etc) sekä vuodesta 2005 Helsingissä toiminut fyysisen teatterin eri muotoja yhdistelevä Teatteri Metamorfoosi.
Entistä inklusiivisemman esittävän taiteen kentän luomme yhdessä me kaikki – taiteen ammattilaiset, katsojat ja kokijat, yhteisöt ja yhteenliittymät. Matkalla uuteen esityskeskukseen järjestämämme avoimia keskusteluja, kohtaamisia, työpajoja ja esityksiä vaihtuvissa tiloissa ja kumppaniteattereissa. Seuraa meitä ja tule mukaan!

NEW THEATRE HELSINKI
New Theatre Helsinki (NTH) is a performing arts initiative running between 2020–2022. The initiative’s purpose is to create a new venue dedicated to the cultural diversity of the performing arts field. NTH was born from the need to make the linguistic and cultural diversity of our society visible in the field of the performing arts: in its contents, makers and audiences.
The New Theatre Helsinki aims to be a meeting point and a platform for co-operation between the arts professionals and audiences from diverse backgrounds as well as the existing theatres. The project will also create new networks and forms of co-working within the capital region, Finland and the other Nordic countries.
NTH is led by two Helsinki-based theatre associations well experienced in working in the field of performing arts and interculturality. European Theatre Collective (ETC) is an international theatre collective, formed in 2007. Teatteri Metamorfoosi, formed in 2005, focuses on physical theatre.
To build a more diverse and inclusive performing arts scene we need you all – spectators, performers and arts professionals, communities, networks and coalitions. During the project we’ll organise open talks, meetings, workshops and performances in different venues and at our partner theatres. You are most welcome to follow and join us.

New Theatre Helsinki (NTH) este o iniţiativă care vizează artele spectacolului şi care se desfăşoară între anii 2020 şi 2022. Scopul iniţiativei este acela de a crea un nou loc de întâlnire dedicat diversităţii culturale în domeniul artelor spectacolului. NTH a luat fiinţă din nevoia de a spori vizibilitatea diversităţii lingvistice şi culturale a societăţii noastre, manifestată în artele spectacolului atât ca şi conţinut, cât şi din punctul de vedere al interpreţilor şi al receptorilor (publicului).
New Theatre Helsinki are ca scop să devină un loc de întâlnire şi o platformă de cooperare între profesioniştii din domeniul artelor şi spectatorii lor (indiferent de pregătirea pe care o au), dar şi între ei şi instituţiile teatrale deja existente. De asemenea, proiectul va crea noi reţele şi modalităţi de conlucrare între regiunea de bază, Finlanda, şi celelalte ţări nordice.
NTH este condus de două asociaţii teatrale cu baza la Helsinki. Acestea au o vastă experienţă în domeniul artelor spectacolului şi a inter-culturalităţii. European theatre collecive (ETC) este o asociaţie teatrală internaţională formată în anul 2007. Teatteri Metamorfoosi, înfiinţat în 2005, se axează pe teatru fizic.
În efortul de a crea o scenă mai diversificată şi mai cuprinzătoare pentru artele spectacolului, avem nevoie de voi toţi – spectatori, actori şi profesionişti ai artelor, comunităţi, reţele şi asociaţii. Pe durata proiectului, vom organiza discuţii libere, întâlniri, ateliere şi spectacole în diverse locaţii, inclusiv la teatrele partenere. Sunteţi bineveniţi să ne urmăriţi şi să vă alăturaţi iniţiativei noastre.

The color of our skin, the color of our passport, the color of our gender does not prevent us from becoming stranger.
This performance is about a journey in the metro from Tapiola to Mellunmäki. While witnessing the social, economical and racial clashes in Helsinki during this trip, Amira, Alina ja Anna reflect on Camus' novel the Stranger and the story of Meursault, the protagonist of the book.
They realize that even though they are Finnish citizens living in Finland they are also foreigners. The sense of belonging to a community is a social construction, which can be easily broken down. In order to prevent the crumbling of this social construction, myths are deployed. But these myths are masks which can also alienate not only the foreigners but also the one wearing the mask.

PUNCH UP! – RESISTANCE & GLITTER
Punch Up! is a fierce variety show filled with the best in drag, stand-up comedy, and burlesque. Every show is a uniquely curated glittery dream filled with acts that are hilarious, sexy, thought-provoking, gender-twisting, binary-busting, and thoroughly unforgettable. Short performances dig deep into emotional landscapes that are simultaneously universal and very particular: anxiety, joy, hope, or love – while the audience gives back energy in a deliciously vicious, sexy cycle*.
Created in 2018 by stand-up comedian and monologuist Juuso Kekkonen, stand-up comedian and performance artist James Lórien MacDonald, and queer drag artist and producer Mira Eskelinen, Punch Up! has become a show like no other. Bringing together the most dazzling performers in drag, burlesque, and stand-up comedy, Punch Up! shines a light on the talent and passion to be found in these undervalued art forms.
“Punch Up! Resistance & Glitter offers time and time again a joyful, high-caliber, shamelessly camp collection of voices that are so rarely heard on main stages. As a social gesture it’s valuable, necessary, and timely, allowing for the emergence of a rich stream of talents, identities, and performance styles.” The Theatre Centre of Finland board / Teatterikeskus ry:n board

Punch up: Anniina Joensalo
Out of Touch is a performance that uses the means of documentary theatre to talk about inter-ethnic divorces in Finland. The audience is invited to a celebration which eventually evolves to be reminiscence of a divorce. Stream of stories that are told from different perspectives to depict the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind of different characters and narrators. What is remembered by whom and in what colours and smells?
Study says that every second marriage of a foreigner and a Finn ends in divorce.
Are the cultural differences so great? Do people from different nationalities rush into marriage for practical reasons? Is it the one-way sacrifices and all the unbalances that it brings? Or it’s just the clash between a person from the happiest country in the world and a person from a miserable country.
The performance is based on interviews with people who have gone through interethnic break ups and divorces. People who got to know each other outside the context of their everyday living. People who moved to other continents for love and lost their superpowers.
