ARTISTS:

Tuija Kervinen is a writer, poet, and spoken word artist from the Pirkanmaa region. Her debut book, La Nueva Gramática de la Quimera Negra, was published by Palladium Books in 2022.
Tuija writes about sensuality and sensory joy in a multidimensional, elliptical way—playing at the edges, gently pulling back the veil of dreamscapes. Her work is characterized by powerful, intimate connections between women, and her love for vintage clothing, natural phenomena, and good food.
During the performance, she will present two poetry pieces.

Rustoga, aka Rudolf Westerholm, is a Helsinki-based producer of electronic folk music. A multidisciplinary composer with nearly two decades of experience in music and sound, Rudolf’s compositions combine experimental sound design with melodic elements. He draws inspiration from interdisciplinary research to convey emotional depth through sound. His music forms an integral part of the performance.

Ida Rantanen is a theatre technician and applied theatre director. Seeking calm for her restless soul, she works across various roles within theatre arts. Ida is a performer and director with a deep passion for writing and design. One of her most well-known works is "ihan v**tun fucked up", a monologue exploring mental health issues, including suicide, from the perspective of a sibling. "I need to create art in order to feel connected to my inner self and to interact with the society around me."

Säde Leino is a multidisciplinary theatre artist and mental health advocate. She aims to create socially significant art and bring mental health themes to light through theatre. "I’m sensitive, poetic – I like sad things, because I see great emotions in sadness."

Ida and Säde each present a unique performance during the event.

Kalle “Kehveli” Rantanen is a Tampere-based event producer and cultural production student. Käperryn is a curated piece by Kehveli, who is also responsible for the performance's technical elements and light art. Light is his great passion, and through this piece, he explores the narrative power of light as part of the artistic experience.
