The Day of the Great Farewell
The stage activity of Myllyteatteri began in spring 2004 in the Myllysali space in Suomenlinna.
Composer and accordion artist Johanna Juhola created the music for the production I directed, while the poems of Lauri Otonkoski were distributed among a four-person ensemble.
“It had begun suddenly, with the rise of a fever.
Cold — as if all the organs had been taken from a freezer,
placed somehow back into their cavities and chambers —
only that freezing, total
state.”
Script & direction: Miira Sippola
Performers: Eero Enqvist, Johanna Juhola, Laura Kairamo, Kaisa Niemi
Texts: Lauri Otonkoski, from the collection Olo (WSOY, 2002)
