Centralparken 2114 is a vast site-specific project that will take place in the Central Park of Helsinki. In the different parts of the project that consists of sound installations, video installations and performances Nya Rampen explore their complex relationship to the park.
The project will span up to 1000 hectare of the vast park, all the way from Töölönlahti in the south up to the nature reserve of the north of the park. It will be made up of 10 separate parts, all in their own way a declaration of love for the “lungs of Helsinki”.

In Shapeshifter - Pirates, Nya Rampen examine the potential of piracy as an act of liberation and autonomization in contemporary economy. We are witnessing how institutions and hierarchies that have made up the fundamentals of modern societal organising are losing power. As we witness this societal collapse, powerholders, politics and political discourse become reactionist, moralistic and prude. Trauma is abused as a power tool.
Pirates don’t subscribe to such mentality. It’s time to stir the pot.
Nya Rampen’s trade mark aesthetics; dark comedy, expressive performance and surrealistic, associative storytelling mash up in their third exploration of Shapeshifting .

It all began with a message. Suddenly, it was just there. No one knew how it had arrived.
But it soon became clear that it hadn’t come from any human source. It was a message from outer space. Emotion researcher Brenda Gomez was immediately called in to examine the message, and she could confirm that someone was in distress. But beyond that, she couldn’t say much. This was a language no one on Earth had ever encountered.That was when she got the idea.The children.
If anyone can pick up a language quickly—if anyone is sensitive to nuance—it’s children. Together with astronaut Elmer Bäck, she set off on a top-secret mission. They would bring the message to a carefully selected group of children, hoping they might be able to decode it. But they had no idea that this would lead both the children and themselves on the most breathtaking journey they would ever embark on. A journey that would take them all the way into outer space and back.
A journey that would change both the children and themselves.A journey to meet KaKo.
