Songs my grandfather could have sung to me
Songs that could have been in different versions, as Miika remembers them
"Mytomato is a brilliant piece, dancing away on the borders of parody and multi-layered commentary – musical and extra-musical – all woven together with witty irony and creative craziness."
"Die grafische Notationstechnik Soune, an der der Komponist seit Jahren arbeitet, transzendiert durch ihre visuelle Komponenete die Grenzen traditioneller Notation und bietet Raum für humorvolle, tiefgründige und gleichzeitig körperliche Erlebnisse auf der Bühne. "
"Intellectually stimulating and teasingly funny art of our time."
"A peculiar, yet ever-so-wonderful mixture of absurd comedy and versatile virtuosity, gorgeously performed by Heikkilä and Kozlovski"
"This three-hour, precisely timed sound structure is a confusing, constantly moving deconstruction of language, voice and sound. […] The bizarre fascination that the spectacle has created will not get out of your head so quickly."
"Voice Box was full of tongue in cheek [...] that allowed the audience to fully join in."
"The avant-garde business trip to the green creates a situational border experience with a feel-good program."
"The audience […] experiences an masterfull musical performance, which is then deconstructed in an irritating sequence of events at different locations in a deliberately bizarre manner."
"Delightful and playful experimental opera from young Finnish composer"
"Genuinely avantgardistic German music theatre."

Will this performance help if you want to pass your test on ancient myths? Absolutely not!
Facts: Athene doesn’t like double oboe because it makes her cheeks look silly. The faun Marsyas finds it. He thinks he is the best player ever and challenges Apollo. Apollo plays the lyre and sings and wins the competition. As a reward, he decides to skin Marsyas, which transforms into a river.
More Facts: the performance takes place on 3.2.2024 at 19h at the Spandau Arcaden in one of the empty shops. Yes, exactly. Go to the shopping mall, go downstairs, look for the Deichmann shop and get through the door opposite it.
