“Bystanders” (produced by Teatteriyhdistys Kontrasti ry) is a performance testing the limits of traditional theatre. Day by day, we are informed of countless cruel incidents around us. How much do we truly care about these tragic events and news that we witness? How would it feel like if we were in crisis and the possible help was only one screen away? The creation ponders our role in this bystander effect. Your position as a viewer may feel somewhat unusual but already familiar. The performance is directed by Ia Nojonen, but it is created by the whole group as a result of improvisation and creative experimenting.
