About this event
Moving in November - Sara Grotenfelt: Last Hurrah takes place on Friday, 13 November 2026 at Cultural Centre Caisa, Helsinki. Expect to pay from €17.
In Last Hurrah – a wonderfully awkward party performance – the various emotional sides of celebration rise to the surface.
Accompanied by popular party songs and a party horn concerto, the protagonist, choreographer Sara Grotenfelt, struggles her way through the crowd. Through simple actions in complex bodily situations she insists on showing what she needs to show before her inner smile fades out.
Instructions are given in the beginning of the work in English. Please note that the piece includes sudden loud noises.
The performance is part of Moving in November 5.–15.11.2026.
