Karotoitus (in English = mapping) explores different ways of using words and movement to bring out unbearable memories. Two performers are constantly mapping personal history through texts, movement, singing and reshaping it instantly on the stage. Performers play between each other and in a releation to audience, space and soundworld. Poetic performance is an action towards memories that can change to absurd and narrative situations.
