Teatro alla Cartiera

Long time no see!

Beatrix Simkó / Jenna Jalonen, Long time no see! | ph Sarah Melchiori

NATIONAL PREMIERE

Beatrix and Jenna were born in isolated European countries. They have the same amount of muscles and bones. They are movers, acrobatics, comfortable with steam and water. Women of the Y-generation. Blonde and brunette. Nordic and Central-European. One drinks pálinka the other one Koskenkorva. Almost sisters. Not quite. Long time no see! is a research project about common roots and isolation, nearness and distance, understanding and misunderstanding. A performance by a Finnish and a Hungarian artist that explores the unfamiliar and familiar aspects of two cultures that used to be related.

The performance contains nude scenes
