Written and composed by a collective assembled by Laura Voutilainen, the modern revue Origo goes crazy with genres. Four wonderful women – Laura Voutilainen, Anu Palevaara, Veera Railio and Maija Ruuskanen – throw themselves into the most diverse musical numbers and broach both touching topics and humour.

Origo is the beginning, the source, the root and the cause, representing a farewell to borders. It also means “ancestry” and “originator”. With this multi-artistic work, we hope to create a stir among the public and a debate about the extent of our pigeon-holing and what we dare to be.

Origo is an artwork by four women, an interlude that delves into the minds and psychophysics of women born in the mid-1970s. The multi-instrumentalist hybrid of movement, music, visuals and text screams: can genre boundaries be crossed? Can I be born again?
