TEEMU MÄKI: THEATRE / OPERA / DANCE / PERFORMANCE


HOME / etusivu

A scene from Posthuman (chamber opera), Dance House Helsinki, March 2023.


I direct theatre pieces and operas. I also make multidisciplinary live art and performances. I also usually write the scripts or librettos.

I'm originally a painter, so when I first started to make also live art, it was traditional performance art. Then I migrated into theatre — or some kind of theatre.

It has been very rewarding to me to work in different realms simultaneously: visual art, literature, performing arts, film and research — in no hierarchical order.

This multiplicity also gives my work in live arts its special qualities (be they good or bad).

My works in this field can be difficult to categorize, since I often combine various forms and genres in a quite democratic manner.
