(Scroll down for English.)

A dilemma is a dialogue between two people about life’s big and small choices. Even though the discussion does not seem to lead to definitive solutions, listening to the other person opens up opportunities to be different.Dilemma is a performance about discussion, indecision and the difficulty of making choices. A chance encounter between friends, or perhaps lovers, or two people who only know each other only remotely, starts a subtle dialogue that reflects on life’s big and small choices. During the performance, the discussion flows through various topics, goes in circles, breaks, stagnates and drifts again and again towards questions that remain unresolved.

Masi Tiitta has previously worked as a choreographer, performer, dramaturg and worked in various working groups. Her works have been performed in connection with dance, performance art and visual arts, e.g. at the Baltic Circle Festival, the Contemporary Art Space Kutomo, Mad House Helsinki and Zodiak – Center for New Dance.
