Mad House Season 4 is over, thank you – The 5th Season starts in January 2018
Mad House’s 4th Season brought on stage the fragilities of the human body, the need of consolation and humanity in today’s world. Season was held 13 January - 23 April 2017 in Suvilahti, Helsinki.
Mad House presented all together thirteen domestic and four international productions. Ten of these were premieres in which Mad House worked as a co-producer. On top of these amazing performances Mad House worked as a stage for three festivals: Mad Audio Days! focusing on audio based art, Hurraa! festival for children and Suomi 100 – Kekoni 10 minifestival celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Petri Kekoni Company. Mad Bar had also the programme of it’s own featuring tens of witty, funny, touching acts, gigs and clubs.
