In the documentary multi-art work of Porttiteatteri and Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin, the personal experiences of the performers appear on the stage as multifaceted and unapologetic. Flamenco - which in the work is above all synonymous with a passionate attitude and looking at life eye to eye - pulsates around everything. Top Spanish musicians, guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez Cano, and singer Victor Carrasco carry the work forward along with violinist Sanna Salmenkallio and musician-composer Roni Martin.
"I know there is no straight road
No straight road in this world
Only a giant labyrinth
Of intersecting crossroads"
– Federico García Lorca

Porttiteatteri performances in themselves increase understanding of our common reality.

Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin is an international group of artists in whose works Finnish contemporary art meets the Andalusian tradition – on the terms of the former. The group's works are characterized by roughness, beauty and carnival of movement and music.
When you step out of the performance, you feel like you have seen and experienced something you will not come across right away.
