East Helsinki should be an independent country. Where people stand for things. Empathy, compassion, gratitude and everything good and left. Where everyone would make a lot of sense, love and tell so many stories. This evening is about the story part. The stories of sandwiches, liberty, chai, fishing, relocation, resistance, and whatever. Come and listen to some of them with us, have a cup of tea or soup of the day.

If you want to tell a story or perform then send us a request at saraab.helsinki@gmail.com

We will also have some stories from the hat, so come-check the vibe and put your name in the hat if you feel like telling one.

Red card to racists, queerphobes/islamophobes, climate change denialists. We also have a lifetime entry ban for Putin, Erdogan, Netanyahu and Donald Trump.

If you are going through a lot, we are on your side. Meri-Rastila for life, because east is a tribe, a vibe.

Openings – Dreams – Reality 

Sigüenza 9.6.2026

Walking around. What would, what could a artist residency for storytellers be? What kind of creative conditions I would like to organise for myself and for others? How to shape something that would not be result-orientated, but open to exploration. What kind of set up, frame work, what kind of network could be meaningful, innovative, open and fruitful. Would it be possible and how? 

Maybe, maybe.. Let’s think about it.

ROOTS – Tour 2023

6th Sept * Content Verhalen, Duffel, Belgium

7th Sept * Mezrab, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

8th Sept * Op De Wolken, Ghent, Belgium

3rd Nov * The Cube, Crick Crack Club, Bristol UK

4th Nov * The Earthouse, Crick Crack Club, Cranborne, UK

ROOTS By 3Troubadours: Markus Luukkonen, Tom Van Outryve, Torgrim Mellum Stene

We stand on the shoulders of giants. Each and every one of our ancestors has left a trace in us. To understand who we are and where we are going, we need to understand where we’ve come from. To dive into the lake, to climb the tree, to enter the cave. To look for the ROOTS of it all.
3Troubadours have dug far back into their individual family histories, the legends of their cultures and even their own DNA to find tales and memories of who we are and what we carry. With their signature humour, energetic performance and deep sense of wonder, the three performers will take you to places and times you’ve never been before.

ROOTS was developed throughout 2018 in a string of European residencies supported by Federation for European Storytelling / The Creative Europe Programme of the EU and The Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme. The performance premiered the 24th of October that year at the Warsaw International Storytelling Festival. ROOTS lasts for 75 minutes without break.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
3Troubadours is a trilateral trio of performance storytellers consisting of Markus Luukkonen (FI), Tom van Outryve (BE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO). The group was officially formed in Ghent in Belgium in May 2015.

They toured Europe and the UK with their first show, Mobile Dreams, performing it at almost 40 venues from 2015 – 2018. ROOTS is their second show. ROOTS has been performed at storytelling festivals in Warsaw (PL), Zwolle (NL), Skelleftea and Ljungby (SE) and as stand alone shows in Oslo (NO) and Helsinki (FI).

I’m So Here PART III

Story Sharing Universum presents:

I’m So Here part III   – A crazy and diverse performance about identity

15 – 20 February, Theatre House Universum, Helsinki 

 In this strange place I ended up in… 

do I look the same? 

do I feel the same? 

do I think the same? 

do I act the same? 

is this still me?  

I´m So Here is a series of performances whose main themes are the individual and cultural identity from the perspective of the newcomer. How have I been received in the country and society where I moved or fled, and how has it affected me? What do I carry with me from my background and how do I and my identity change in the new culture and who then have I become? The texts of the performances are based on the life stories of the working group.

In this the third and last part of  I´m So Here we invite you to the Universum Theatre to experience a variety of stories and scenes like… The Iraqi Panther- Hunter meets the Finnish-Bolivian gringo… the best home-made Yugoslavian pop-music … the Bollywood diary… Pakistani street theater style agitation and many other inspiring and unlikely numbers in this heartwarming event. 

Performance language: English

Directed by Max Bremer, Markus Luukkonen and Åsa Nybo

Music director Salla Markkanen

Light design Tuomas Honkanen

Graphic design Juha Mustanoja

Stage tech and engineering: Sisu Nojonen and Aleksi Karjalainen
