b e s t i a r i o is a stage work that approaches bestiaries – medieval collections of weird animals, monsters and unexplainable freaks of nature. On scene it creates its own bodily and spatial bestiary. The team has built a barber shop –  allowing all sorts of transformations – in an old retail space in the Helsinki city centre. The work studies monstrosity and the fear of the unknown. b e s t i a r i o also plays with the idea of how other species might write their own bestiaries of us humans.

Premiered on September 10th 2019 in Helsinki (Unioninkatu 27).
