Meetings – Squares and Chairs by Veli-Ville Sivén in May 2024 in redukt_studio.

KONE II is an installation and performance that utilizes a presentation concept based on renovation, construction, and demolition, where real construction work is observed. Passersby can stop to watch, walk past, or turn their heads to the events reminiscent of temporary construction sites in the urban landscape. However, KONE II injects playfulness into construction and may make the passerby smile. Perhaps all construction sites can be viewed as performances.

KONE (2020) is a contemporary performance that draws inspiration from the construction site surrounding the Theatre Academy. The performers, dressed as construction workers, build a chair in the middle of the audience using a sensitive and thoughtful approach. The performance begins with the construction of stools for the audience to sit on, setting the stage for the gradual and deliberate creation of the chair.

The production team has taken the playwright's aforementioned stage directions quite literally, and they have built an actual gym on the stage of Teatteri Takomo.
