Dance Theatre PINTA
The company is committed to social and environmental issues straight from the beginning.
Rosa and Sara Lohiniva created the company in 2012 with a concept of accountability. Most of the annual performances are themed with social issues (such as relationships between people and environmental related stories). A practical decision for Pinta’s environmentally friendly approach is to use recycled materials for the costumes and props. This quickly led the company partnering with Kierrätyskeskus, Reuse Centre in Finland.
The Pieces "The Blame" and "NEMO" were invited to India Theatre Olympiad and International Theatre Festival in 2015 and 2016. Both pieces were rewarded with Plague of Honour.
