White Hunger is an epic and impressive play about the will to live, the fragility of structures, social inequality and the need to fight. It deals with a dystopian future scenario and is based on the novel of the same name by Aki Ollikainen, which was published in 2012. It was adapted and staged by Oxi Koskelainen for Oulu Theater. In Oulu, the world of White Hunger has been created with unprecedented means.
The set transforms the small stage into an enchanting futuristic space with its deep-dimensional effects and projected images. The team has created an immersive work of art inspired by the world of video games, conceptual art and pop culture, among other things.
The production was created as part of the major ACuTe project (funded by the EU's Creative Programme) and was advised by the Academy for Theatre and Digitality.
