HOW TO FIND US
The NoName Theatre is at Hietaniemenkatu 7 B in Kammpi, but the entrance is technically on Lapuankatu, past the K-Market. You will need to ring the 5th Floor buzzer to be let through the metal gate under the "Keskisuomalainen Osakunta" sign. Follow the signs/posters and take the elevator up to the fifth floor. (We will provide a link to more detailed instructions in the second week of February after we have moved into our new premises.)
ACCESSIBILITY
There is an elevator to the fifth floor. Unfortuately, the premises do not have a wheelchair accessible bathroom.

Peel me, peel me! is a fooling performance by Isabel Schmitt & Eve Simon from the
What is the place where you are supposed to be? Is it a home, a workplace, or a specific state of mind? Is it a process or people? We are going to explore different strategies people use to find a sense of belonging.
In the ‘Kitsch und Kunst’ boudoir/ateljé of successful fashionista Petra von Kant, only beauty is allowed. The countess’s relationships with her faithful and adoring maid Marlene, with her submissive bestie Sidonie, with her excitable daughter Gabi and with her distant mother Valerie are established, exploitative, and comfortable. But soft! What light from yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Karin is the disrupter! From love at first sight, though jealousy, conflict, music, and yes, floods of bitter tears, can the course of love run true? Can Petra can pull herself out of her spiral of alcoholism and despair, and reboot her relationships with the women in her life, or lose everything…?
