The artists invite citizens to join them in city walks, workshops, site-specific pop-up events and performances. Climbing over Oulu is inspired by the city, its inhabitants, its urban landscapes and its human heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Urban walks around the city of Oulu will take the audience around the city and attract them to see the special features of the city. Led by project artistic director <strong>Eleft\u00e9rios Kechagioglou<\/strong> and architect <strong>Amine Slimani<\/strong>, the Climbing over Oulu walks are spontaneous: participants are invited to share their experiences and knowledge of the sites along the route and suggest points of interest along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In parallel with the Urban Walks and workshops, a 12-person team of circus artists and musicians has been meeting from 2024-2025 to prepare a stage production. The work will feature musicians and circus artists selected by Flow and PPCM and will premiere at the Culture Centre Valve on Fri 5 June 2026 at 19:00. The group will also present a pop-up performance at AaltoSilo on Fri 29 May at 18:00. <strong>Ga\u00ebtan Lev\u00eaque<\/strong> will be responsible for the artistic direction of the performances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The summer 2026 schedule for the Climbing over Oulu project will be announced in more detail during the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Welcome to explore Oulu and your hometown with brand new eyes!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>PPCM and Flow working group<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Artistic Director: <strong>Eleft\u00e9rios Kechagioglou<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Artistic director: <strong>Ga\u00ebtan Lev\u00eaque<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Artistic development\/production: <strong>Mathilde Lajarrige<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Circus and dance artists: <strong>Lucille Chalopin, Julia Tesson, Erika Matagne, Johnson Saint-F\u00e9lix, Helena Morag, Jared and Katarina van Earle<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Musicians <strong>Stefanos Floras, Mahdi M&#8217;Kinini, M\u00e9lian Vlachos, Pauliina Kauppila<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Architects: <strong>Amine Slimani, Dimitra Kanellopoulou<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In collaboration with: <strong>Valentino Tignanelli<\/strong>, Aaltosiilo, Factum Foundation, Culture Centre Valve<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Production support: Oulu Culture Foundation, Institut fran\u00e7ais de Finlande<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Co-production: PPCM, Flow Production<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The first Climbing over Oulu residency took place in the summer of 2024 and will culminate in the summer of 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Climbing over Oulu is part of the Oulu2026 cultural programme and cultural climate change.
