About


A fantasy-filled piece by Liisa Pentti about love, life and death where she enters into a direct and uncompromizing dialogue with her audience. Through a minimalistic form it recalls ordinary events in her life and of those near and far who have passed away. She creates a floating landscape of personal stories transforming into larger-than- life fiction.  In these times of change and unpredictability some fundamental questions come to the surface; Pentti needed to ask the questions: “Can we live in peace with our dead and if so, how? Can we laugh with them and imagine our dearest ones happy on the other side? And what about love?”
