Re-membering / Grief
Broas & Nyberg:
Re-membering / Grief
1.10. – 11.10.2026
Fragility gathers itself into postures, forms seep out from beneath, slowly slipping downward.
Time bursts into visibility.
Moments swarm within one another. Within the cells, knowing begins to blur.
Your knowing, my knowing. So much of myself in you.
Re-membering / Grief unfolds as a solo performance and a video installation. It explores grief and remembering, lost realities, the layering of time, and loss. The solo is rooted in Jenna Broas’ personal experience of her mother’s memory illness. The video installation draws from the slow transformations of the earth and the entanglement of past and future.
The topography of grief expands into the space – a single performer moves within subtly vibrating environments where the embodied silence of grief approaches.
The work is a collaboration between the artist duo Broas & Nyberg, sound artist Ville Aalto, lighting designer Sofia Palillo, and poet-dramaturg Milka Luhtaniemi. The texts of the work are co-written by Jenna Broas and Milka Luhtaniemi.
Video installation is open 1–11.10.2026 during opening hours at Porvoo Art Hall: Tuesday–Friday 10–18, Saturday–Sunday 11–16.

About the artists
Broas & Nyberg are a Porvoo-based artist duo founded by dance artist Jenna Broas and spatial and video artist Fabian Nyberg. They work with choreography at the intersection of performance, installation, and video art. They are interested in the presence of choreography beyond the performer’s body – in materials, perception and space. In their works, Broas & Nyberg explore questions related to time, cycles, memory, humanity, and life and death. Their practice combines choreographic thinking, visual work and spatial processes. Their most recent works have been presented at venues including Teater Viirus and Zodiak – Center for New Dance, as well as at light art and film festivals in Finland, Europe and Australia.
