It is the year 2545 and the world as we know it no longer exists. Young Aava lives her closed and joyless everyday life in a concrete city that has been spared from the flood, where knowledge and development are forbidden. Gradually, however, the façade created by the community begins to crumble. The touching and topical play tells about future choices and society’s values. Does Aava dare to take responsibility into its own hands and work for a better future? What if there is even a tiny bit of hope somewhere?

The stage will feature Jakomäki’s own theatre group Hilkat ja Hukat, as well as children and young people from Jakomäki. The intense music created by the live band leads the viewer to be part of this intense vision of the future.

The play is part of the Helsinki City Theatre and the North Helsinki Band School’s Jakomäki theatre project and the Helsinki Model project.
The play is a co-production of the Helsinki City Theatre, the North Helsinki Band School and Malmitalo. The performance is suitable for children over 10 years of age.
