Dreamscapes
in Transit
October, 19th 2025
Dreamscapes in Transit will drift through Helsinki’s streets - guided by wind, energy streams, and city politics. A performance-journey of butoh-inspired movement and accidental encounters, where the city itself becomes performer.
Dreamscapes in Transit, a performance-journey, moving between our shared dreams, begins at an unspecified place and time .
Part of the program of the Be(a)ware Butoh Festival in Helsinki, Finland
A site-specific practice in motion — driven by research and collaborative creation.
Katia Skylar (MA) is an actress (FIA), performance maker, and butoh dancer based in Helsinki. Her work spans stage, screen, and immersive formats — blending movement, physicality, and multilingual performance.
