Teatteri Preesens Presents: PAPERI LOPPUU JO (“Running out of paper”)
Fri, Dec 19, at 19:00
Sat, Dec 20, at 16:00
Sat, Dec 20, at 19:00
Performance duration about 1 h
Cultural Center Vernissa’s Vernissasali, Tikkurilantie 36
Free admission!
“Paperi loppuu jo” brings the modern pressing problems of young adults to the stage with great energy and a touch of humor. The performance was born out of the performers’ numerous reflections on their own lives, which filled out page after page during rehearsals.
External pressures make us force out positivity. We pretend to be more than we are. But in the face of internal demands, we really are just paper.
PAPERI LOPPUU JO is a performance created through process, which brings to the stage the working group’s own experiences and thoughts. All of the performance’s contents were thought up together with the working group during the process that started in September 2025.
More about the event here!
