“The Myth: last day”

2022 / Kanuti Gildi SAAL


performed at SAAL Biennaal / Tallinn , Impulstanz Festival, Sophiensaele, DRAAMA festival / Tartu, Sequences Festival / Reykjavik, Baltic Dance Platform / Riga and more.



The performance is centered around a pre-fabricated archaeological mine, where a pseudo- archeologist digs objects from the ground, investigating the stories that they carry. It intertwines reality and fiction, creates myths, thereby constructing speculative pasts and futures.

"The Myth: last day" poses questions like who owns the objects, along with the stories that they carry? Which interpretations are regarded, which not?


The second part of the show is a black-metal-inspired doomsday-concert, it animates the ruins, explores reasons to project towards the future and stay on the surface. Peculiar poetics, minimal yet indulgent theatrical elements in a world where the calm curiosity of a researcher co-exists with the chaos of a nihilistic metalhead.

“The Myth: last day” work-in-progress showing
concept, performance: Netti Nüganen


Layers of fabrics, recycled ideas. An attempt to excavate the hidden threads which might alter the perception of the needlework of time.
She bends over and, squinting, looks for change - fast - magnifying glass in one hand and tape recorder in the other. She digs in the ruins within a non-linear timeline, interested in transformation and the mythic ways in which history can function.
