Kertomuksia keittiöstä (The Tales from the Kitchen) – was a play built around the songs by Maija Kaunismaa, who also performed this play by herself. The lyrics were written by Finnish author Sofi Oksanen. The play was produced by Finnish National Theatre and it ran from August 2011 to May 2012.
I was responsible for set design and video projections. Many of the digital drawings were made live with an iPad in syncronization with the performer.
