At the webpage of Bastard, the international performing arts festival of Trondheim, the following, among other things, is written aboutTen journeys to a place where nothing happensby Juha Valkeapää and Taito Hoffrén:

"The performance Ten journeys to a place where nothing happens by the artist Juha Valkeapää and the musician Taito Hoffrén moves at a comfortable pace. The hosts take care of the guests, talk, play some music, discuss some, play some theatre, and in between all of this, they tell ten honest stories with and without words. The biggest challenge for them - they claim - is doing nothing. Just to be. Sometimes they succeed with this, others not.

The core of the performance is a diary, often updated. While the audience enjoys the pancakes, Valkeapää and Hoffrén ponder the great questions of life. The camping van next to the tent serves as means of transport, a kitchen, bathroom, side stage, dressing room and storage room. During summer it is also a bedroom."

Supported by: Arts Council of Finland.
