Theatre is alive in Pörsänmäki!
Teatteri Sujo is a contemporary theatre in Pörsänmäki, originally born in an old barn through the efforts of the village community. At Sujo we make bold, experimental art that grows out of the place, the people and the moment.

From the barn to the whole region
A small village. A big stage.
Sujo is more than a barn at the edge of a field. Audiences drive the gravel roads from all over Savo, productions tour every municipality in North Savo, and residency artists arrive from Lapland, Turku and the Helsinki region. See how Sujo moves the region.

Audiences travel to Sujo's barn from all over, including the municipalities where Sujo has performed. The points of light are an illustration, not measured data. Add your home municipality under “Where are you from?” and the map will start telling the real story.
Sujo takes theatre to the people: village halls, school gyms and culture centres. Pick a tour. The route order is illustrative.

Dear Uncle
What audiences and critics say
“I really loved it. A fascinating venue, beautiful countryside. You were already in the mood driving down the gravel roads.”
“I considered it the most artistically accomplished performance seen and heard in Upper Savo in summer 2023.”
“What high-quality, powerful theatre. A truly big experience! Thank you to the whole company. It felt like a gift.”
“Thought-provoking. It showed beautifully what war can mean for one person. The shadows on the walls added a stunning element. You don't always need many props on stage.”
“Wondrous, and as strange as a human being can be. Wonderful!”
“A fine company on stage, giving shape to our complicated world.”
“Sujo showed the power of an inspired company. Someone in the audience remarked: “This was the best Sujo yet.””
“Topi Marin's direction convinces with its tone and devotion. The levels and structures of the venue heighten the sense of presence.”
“The salt of the show is without doubt its skilful musical expression.”
“Director Topi Marin and his actors Milja Mehtonen and Ville-Markus Laitinen have created work that is precise to the millimetre, yet airy.”
“A powerful performance that stirred many feelings and thoughts. I hope we get to see new work from this company in future.”
