About Milja Salovaara
Milja Salovaara is a costume designer and stage designer. Salovaara was educated in Italy, and works on assignment in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
In 2010 Milja Salovaara got The Hedda Award in the category of best visual design for her stage design for An Enemy of The People at Trøndelag Theatre. The jury reasoned as follows:
"Production design can be minimalist, grotesquely opulent or realistically illusion-creating. Everything is allowed, as long as the stage image expands as well as completes the totality of the production. This is exactly what characterises the winner of the year who created an open, apparently utterly simplistic, but yet complex stage image, providing an earthbound elegance with an extra dimension against and with which to act, without distracting from the text. This stage image was an independent artistic expression awakening curiosity from the start, offering new spaces and rooms for the acting, building a foundation for and fortifying the story.
The award goes to Milja Salovaara for her innovative, stage design contributing creativity to An Enemy of the People at Trøndelag Theatre."
