It is the year 3744. Curious things are going on: the community life is confronted with violence-based Symptoms – even though the world of Trauma is no longer a part of humankind in the 4th Millennium. A kind of a déjà-vu is going on. What to do when there are symptoms of violence but no violence?
Smilli and Jaw have to find answers! Like most of their contemporaries they suddenly experience Symptoms, they neither saw nor heard of. These Symptoms produce a traumatic bonding, which makes their mission more than difficult: finding Pentagonitas.
But where is she?
Time is running. Even in the 4th Millennium.

varialambo is an artist duo based in Helsinki. Varia Sjöström and Hatz Lambo started collaborating in 2018. Their work is focused on trauma based symptoms, mind decolonizing methods and absurd comedy. Using the elements of sculpture, installation, music, performance and poetry, both are trying to create a world where talking about violence is possible without repeating the painful experiences of it.
Vidha Saumya is a Helsinki based Artist-Poet whose body of works – Monumental Drawings, Intimate Mark-makings, Murals, Books, Poems, Sculptures, Embroidered Textiles, Food Art, Videos, and Digital Artifacts – are wry and warm in their politics and kaleidoscopic in their aesthetics. The concept of Heimat / (Home)land is at the core of her praxis. She has studied art and art theory in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lahore and Helsinki and has exhibited across India and North Europe.
Jari Kallio is working with a variety of media including experimental cinema, performance and installation art. His personal and collaborative works mix fantasy, sci-fi and virtuality with everyday life. Kallio has exhibited and screened his works internationally at festivals and institutions such as Europian Media Art Festival (2019, 2017), Beursschouwburg Art Center Brussels (2019), Kunsthalle Osnabrueck (2019), International Film Festival Rotterdam (2019, 2017), CCA derry (2016), HAM gallery (2017), Turku Art Museum (2017), Gallery Sinne (2017), International Short Film Festival Winterthur Switzerland (2017).
