Siikajoki–Helsinki–Al'Arroub
Starting from January 2017
Kuinka voisimme löytää jonkun yhteisen maaperän, jonkun muun kuin tämän turhauman, vihan ja voimattomuuden?
//
How to find a common ground, some other than this frustration, anger and powerlessness?
Siikajoki–Helsinki–Al'Arroub is a performance project about three different realities. It talks about strangeness, encountering and receiving the Other. The work focuses on the themes of crisis, anger, being a refugee, hope, beauty and sensitiveness. It struggles with the question of being stuck in frustration. Always being stuck in the same questions, problems, the same occupation, the same unchangeable violence.
Palestine is an occupied country. It's like a prison. And at the same time it is not because if one is European one can exit. But even for the one who holds the right for exit, one's existence fills with the same frustration. The existence over floats of sharing the same frustration. Of always hearing and receiving the same speech, the same unchanged situation. One is frustrated by the frustration. The guilty and not-guilty, the European light of hope, the listener.
How could we switch places. And who can want that? How could we find our shared common ground, built on something else than the frustration, anger and powerlessness? How can we meet each other in the all means equal positions?
