The inspirational performance 

Sjöjungfrun från Smutsen

Sjöjungfrun från Smutsen is a different inspirational performance about shame and guilt. Through cross-artistic expressions: performance, poetry, meditative soundscapes, music and visual art, the spectator is given the opportunity for reflection. In a time of increased mental illness, Nadja Itäsaari wants to let the culture of silence rise above the surface.

"The mermaid symbolizes the balance between emotion and reason, fairy tale and truth. Shame is something that exists within us humans and has the task of helping us grow. But the shame can become so overwhelming that we can't handle it. It's not every time in need you have the opportunity to feel seen by those closest to you, and those you most need to be seen by. Sjöjungfrun från Smutsen intends to fill a gap in this silence.”
- From Nadja Itäsaari's mermaid manifesto.

The show is currently about 25 minutes long, but can be longer or shorter depending on your request. It can be tailored as needed (party, event feature 10-15 minutes long, as well as wedding). Afterwards, if interested, Nadja can also offer the spectators group discussions and reflection on shame and guilt.
