Winner of State Prize for Performing Arts 2021
Kritiikin Punnukset 2021 (Rajala & Latvala)
“Tuhlaileva, käsityötaitoa ja praktiikkaa säästelemätön teos tuntuu harvinaiselta lahjalta. Suomalaisen teatterin merkkipaalu avautuu kauniisti kohti yleisöä.”
- Kritiikin punnusten palkintoperustelu Rajalalle ja Latvalalle Huoneiden kirjasta 2021
Huoneiden kirja (Book of Rooms) is based on a book of prose poetry by Saila Susiluoto. The abandoned, wind-battered house consists of 64 rooms – a number that equals to the amount of symbols on a table that serves as a peculiar map for the building.
A group of one hundred artists transforms an empty building and its surroundings into a multidisciplinary performance and art installation. The voluminous piece is filled with poetry, theatre, puppetry, dance, music and visual arts. It is an immersive multi-sensory experience one steps into.
