Poetry Jam: 14.12.: at 7PM-10PM: Parvisali, Tekstin talo.

Theme: test.

We’re living in a strangely rational time: everything has to be calculated and proven, whatever it takes.

Poetry tests and measures the possibilities of language. Poetry performance tests and measures the possibilities of poetry. Can a test be playful, a hoax, a patchwork?

Come to experience, test, try out, measure with us!

The program starts at 7PM in the Parvisali on the sixth floor of Tekstin talo.

Performers of the evening are:

Ira Wuolle

Sini Silveri

Pipsa Enqvist

After the invited guests, there will be 4-5 curated open mic performers. Each performer gets 5-10 minutes. Do you have test-themed texts? Would you be interested in performing?
