2022-2023 | Performance
Quo vadis, Nya Rampen?
“Den sista föreställningen” is a show about us; where we have been, where we are, where we are going. It is a show about meaning, loss and the hands of time.
The production will take the shape of a trip-tych.
Beginning at the end, we take part of the last performance. The actors leave the stage, the theatre space.
The second part takes place in a limbo, a place of no place.
The third part is the unfolding of the past and in that, maybe, the possibility of a new beginning. The project is planned to take place during the years 2022-2023.
2022-2024 | Performance
Shapeshifter is a project around the theme metamorphosis. This body of work explores methods of transformation, from one thing to another. As its base director Jakob Öhrman, together with his artistic team, use the texts of Edgar Allan Poe. His gothic and gloomy tales lay the esthetic foundation for the separate pieces of work. The first part of the project premiered at the Badhouse-festival in Helsinki 2021, produced by Madhouse. Nya Rampen will, together with the artistic team, delve even deeper into the world of rituals, of transformation and metamorphosis in the upcoming parts of the project. The project is planned to continue during 2022-2024.
2022-2024 | Performance
Keskuspuisto 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 director Jakob Öhrman, together with his artistic team, explores his own complex relationship to the park, next to which he was born and grew up.. 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”. The project is planned to take place during the years 2022-2024.

2020-2022 | Workshop
Inspire / Conspire / Expire is an ongoing project facilitated by choreographer/dancer Karolina Ginman and director/actor Rasmus Slätis. The duo work together with people with different disabilities active at the work centre Fyren in Hanko, Finland.
The ensemble choses various locations in the sea side city, incorporating the elements that characterise the city - the movements and affects of the ever present wind and ocean, creating a flow of site specific expanding and contracting compositions. The work is rooted in the reciprocity of breathing; the act through which all is connected and all life rely upon.
