The Overseers

The Overseers – A shared security exercise for the whole city
The Overseers (Valvojat) is a performance taking place in an urban environment, combining theatre, literature, dance, sound design, performance, psychogeography and conspiracy theories. It familiarizes participants holistically with the security landscape of our society while securing them to the core.

The performance takes place in the streets and parks of Helsinki. Audience members must be able to walk approximately 4 kilometres during the performance. The work is not physically barrier-free and is not suitable for children. It includes alternative facts that do not correspond to the worldview of the authors but which reflect the altered security situation.
