Speksi is an interactive form of improvisational theatre that combines acting, music, and dance — with audience participation playing a key role. The audience can participate in the show by shouting “Omstart!”, which means that the preceding scene will be performed again in a new way. Audience members can also add a twist, for example, “Omstart, the Stone Age!”, prompting the actors to redo the scene according to that theme. Thanks to these “Omstarts,” every performance is unique.
Speksi performances have a long tradition in Finnish student culture. They are especially well-known in universities, but METKA’s Speksi is the first university of applied sciences (UAS) speksi in Finland. Team spirit and collaboration are at the heart of the production — every team member plays an essential role in bringing the show to life. The entire production is created by students from start to finish, making it an amazing multidisciplinary hobby alongside studies!
Please note that all performances are entirely in Finnish. However, international students are warmly welcome to attend the shows and experience this unique part of Finnish student culture as part of the audience!
