New In Town

New In Town is a monologue about a dentist who has decided to leave everything behind and move to a new city to become an artist. The dentist chooses to begin his first, half-improvised public art performance directly upon arrival.

The performance is a collaboration between me and artist Jaakko Pallavuo. It had its debut at Kohta Kunsthall in Helsinki, in June 2024.
