In Finland, during the surprisingly short history of ours as a civilized nation, we often find ourselves worrying that our great stories have died, as well as our great heroes and events that would bring us all together. Sports, such as the ice-hockey world championships, ski-jumping, and skiing, have always been the kind of great event that has brought the nation together. Surprisingly, this is a topic that Finnish theater has seldom talked about. This is what we want to change. Elmo is a story about vulnerable and sensitive boy from a small village. Elmo becomes, by accident, the world’s greatest and unbeatable athlete. He is worshipped by the crowds but Elmo himself yearns for a simple and quite life while looking for his true love. He has an old man’s soul in a young man’s body. Perhaps he is destined to be a stranger and outsider in this world. We wish to make a performance which is full of joy and music that varies from rock to opera, from pep songs to ballads, from losses to winnings, the hole scale of emotions that people go through watching sport. Sincerely welcome! - Projektori-ryhmä Projektori-ryhmä has set its goal to the making of theater that comments the society around us, theater that is about the people for the people with respect but also with a critical approach. “Elmo” is a logical continuity of the group’s repertoire.
