VALLISAARI SUMMER THEATRE – LOUKUSSA: THE STORY OF HOW WE GOT HERE
Two people. One peculiar space, somewhere unknown. NO EXIT. No way out. The walls seem to be closing in—perhaps physically, perhaps only in their minds. A dead end. The catastrophe has already happened… or maybe it’s just beginning.
They are trapped.
But what happened before this moment? How did they end up here? And, most importantly, is there a way out—or should they even try?
LOUKUSSA takes the audience on a journey through time and deep into the minds of the protagonists. Flashbacks and fragments of the past reveal the sequence of events that led to this moment. Each scene uncovers a new layer: cracks in memories, dreamlike moments, and hidden truths that perhaps were never meant to surface.
The performance unfolds in Vallisaari’s historic warehouse, a space where history lingers in the walls, ghosts of the past whisper, and nature weaves its own mysteries.
An island that was once a fortress, a military base, a secret. Now, it becomes a stage for a story where the characters are prisoners—not only of the space but also of their own minds.
Performed by Stella Polaris, this fully improvised play begins from a starting point chosen by the audience. Music and lighting shape the scene, creating a surreal world where reality and dreams merge. Will escape be possible? That remains to be seen.
LOUKUSSA – The Story of How We Got Here.
A must-see event of the summer.
