This short work was commissioned by Insight Arts as part of Juha Vahakartano’s project, Fill The Earth. Fill The Earth is a look into our tragicomic rituals, as we try to negotiate and understand the wider world in our private lives. The audience is invited to explore the ways in which we connect or disconnect, and ultimately fill the earth with our own stories.

Mele – To crush and grind. Modern society often prioritises relentless productivity and mechanised routines, fostering a culture where workaholism and repetitive practices dominate, sometimes at the expense of creativity and holistic well-being. We fill our earth with meaningless, meandathal, rhythms, patterns and work.
