I work as a playwright and dramaturg both in Finnish and in English and do translations of plays. I’m curious about digital theatre, immersive concepts, and post-dramatic structure. My plays are poetic and disturbing, often a bit autobiographical, and explore theatrical devices and their boundaries.
Recently, I have worked as the resident artist at Nun’s Island Theatre Galway in Theatre 57 TEST residency, where we made a work-in-progress showing off the play THE OTHER WORLD. In 2021, was part of the Gap Day Initiative, participated in the Remote control residency and my work was supported by Arts Council Ireland, Arts Promotion Centre Finland, Galway County Council & Galway City Council. In 2020, was shortlisted for Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize.
