Antti-Juhani Manninen (FI): Assholes
Assholes is sincerely naive performance by Turku-based puppetry artists. It leaves all the room for the performer - a human being that uses its body and voice - with objects, materials and puppets. It is like a light and merry state of continuous change, a sort of multidimensional gift, a soft package from a longing lover to another, from us to you.
