Residency artists and researchers Performing arts, performance art Ryhmä3 Artist group This is a poem I would love to see: chopping up the poems of Saila Susiluoto, chipping away at them and eventually mulling them into a performance entitled Yksi kuuma päivä muiden joukossa (“One Hot Day Among Others”). The group’s performances are based on humanity, an investigative take and the point where the mundane and the sublime meet. We take our performances to different places for different people to experience. The members of Ryhmä3 are Henna Hakkarainen, Susanna Metsistö and Sami Nieminen. At the Saari Residence in August 2012, we will be practicing a performance based on the poems of Saila Susiluoto for its Helsinki premier in October. In the production Ohuiden lankojen varassa (”Hanging by a Thin Thread”), we investigate how and where the concise language of poems and the spoken language of theatre meet. How do poems form a story? How does analysis or coincidence create a new world, event or picture? How does a poem become a performance?
