Sanna Kekäläinen’s solo work in the project Conversas com Formigas will premiere at Teatro Mosca’s AMAS theatre at the MUSCARIUM #11 festival in Portugal.
Solo work Conversations with Ants is the first part in the international long-term collaboration project of Kekäläinen & Company, Teatro Mosca, Leirena Teatro and Colectivo Glovo, with Sanna Kekäläinen as artistic director.
The collaboration will continue in November 2025 with performances in Finland and in 2026 with a series of different performance versions in Portugal, Spain, and Finland. The Finnish version will premiere on November 1, 2025, at K&C’s Space. Performances will continue until December 5.
Sanna Kekäläinen is responsible for the overall dramaturgy and direction of the works. She does not see the project as the construction and presentation of a single, unique work, but rather as a series of works that transform and take on a life of their own.
The theme of ants runs through the entire project. Kekäläinen is working with author Kari Hukkila with the aim of linking the principles of ants’ activity to the theme of the Anthropocene.
Ants are a kind of biological and global double for humans: only ants and humans have spread across the entire globe, except the northern and southern polar regions.
