Veljelleni / To my Brother (2024)
The Finnish National Theater, Sandqvist/Karhu 
Monologue for four actors about the hate-love relationship of symbiotic siblings where the everyday melts into queer and the innocent sincerity into perviness.







Diealong (2021)MA Thesis work of Johanna Karlberg / Theatre Academy   – (noun) the informal dying of different deaths by a group of people
“It’s nice to have a good old-fashioned diealong now and again.”



Straight Acting (2023) is actor Anssi Niemi’s brash solo performance about internalized homophobia and fulfilling the image of a convincing male actor. It’s about credibility, the tension between the stage and sexuality, and the relationship between identity and role. 





VENI (2025)
w/ Corinne Mustonen, Premiere Galleria Loisti
Veni is a fine-tuned contemporary performance - a return to the craft, without irony or postmodern commentaries. It is a sincere attempt for a divine intervention.

Kulmasohvat (2021)
is a sauna get-together of five corner sofas with different angles (straight, right, reflex, acute  and obtuse). Kulmasohvat is the script and directing debut of Eliel Tammiharju and Vili Pääkkö that got its premiere in Theatre Academy 9.4.2021. The work delves into themes of comfort, cooperativeness and humans from the point of view of corner sofas.
