The Jyväskylä Dance Festival 2026: what prevents from being

23.09.2026 18:00 - 18:35

Tapahtumapaikka

Seminaarinkatu 13, Jyväskylä, Suomi

Blomstedt Hall

On the opening day of the festival, the premiere of Katja Sallinen’s solo work what prevents from being will be presented alongside Leevi Rauhalahti’s solo work Wounding the World. With a single ticket, you can experience both performances on the same evening.

what prevents from being, is a dance piece for anyone who has ever felt out of place, like too much, too little, or just existed a little awkwardly.
The piece deals with imposter syndrome, shame, and the pressure of mere existence in a gently anarchist way. The goal is not to hide or resolve the uncertainty and awkwardness, but to learn to live with them. At times, they are even invited into a cautious embrace.
The work is built on attempts, stumbles, waiting, tolerating, exposure, and starting over. The exposed body seeks for glimpses of freedom even in the most constricted situations.
