Oblivia

In ›Museum of Postmodern Art‹ the international performance group Oblivia set itself a megalomaniac task: to do something that is new. Elegantly and only seemingly disoriented, they wander about our known world as if through a dark theatre. They're not afraid to fall through the trap doors of evolution or look behind the scene of cultural history. They dissect emotional and intellectual concepts alike and dig deep to the roots of language itself. What they finally pull on the big stage and send marching down towards their audience is at the same time absurd, monstrous and yes, totally new. Humour has a new name, performance a new language, the future a new face: this is Oblivia, profoundly philosophical, highly intelligent and seriously funny.

»The meticulous physicality and unstinting humour of this superb Finnish company are a tremendous vehicle for communicating complex issues and profound observations on popular culture.« the herald
