Performances July 27 & 28 at 11pm
Railway Station

Students from the Department of Dance Art at the Finnish Theatre Academy will hold open rehearsals from 12 - 4 pm every day during the Full Moon festival on the Pyhäjärvi main street? - don. They will rehearse for a performance which has been inspired by the locally familiar Salmi scenery, which people pass every day but no one ever really notices. Pedestrians will be able to watch how the rehearsals are progressing for the duration of the festival.

The performances themselves will be held on 27-28 July at 11pm, imbuing a familiar place with a new atmosphere and significance. 10 dancer-choreographers will perform both inside and outside the building. The performers and designers are choreography students, and there will also be a lighting designer and several dance students from other Nordic countries. Professor of Choreography Marjo Kuusela will direct the group.
