Lost in Laundryland

Creation 2025

PREMIERE

Stoa Cultural Center – Helsinki, Finland

PYYKKI – Lost in Laundryland” is a new performance for children and families by the company Portmanteau, in collaboration with the award-winning visual artist Helga Stentzel.

Inspired by Stentzel’s photographic series Clothing Line Animals, the performance explores the whimsical world of “Household Surrealism”, looking for magic in the everyday. Using optical illusions to transform clothes and common objects into playful characters and creatures, it invites audiences into a magical universe of little visual delights.

Blending circus, dance, puppeteering, and new magic, PYYKKI follows two friends determined to solve the mystery of where missing socks go. A quest that leads them into a vibrant, surrealist realm filled with fantastical characters and playful transformations.
