A few words from the creators
ELLA: We're all former team gymnasts.
INKERI: Team gymnastics pretty much defined our entire youth.
KATA: Just as it has defined the youth of thousands and thousands of Finnish girls, given it is one of the most popular hobbies for girls and women in Finland.
INKERI: And Finland is the best in the world in team gymnastics!
ELLA: With multiple world championships!
INKERI: And yet, hardly anyone even knows the sport exists!
ELLA: That's why we wanted to create a theatre performance about it.
INKERI: We also wanted to create this work because the discipline hasn't left any of us in peace, even though we quit gymnastics nearly two decades ago.
ELLA: Even though we didn't know each other from before, there was an instant and intimate sense of recognition that fellow gymnasts share, that we DO know each other.
