PROGRAMME TEXT
TEMPO is a bar where the audience is invited to hang out, drink cocktails, sing karaoke, and help prepare for the evening’s after-work. It sounds like a perfectly ordinary bar — but every now and then, something happens and time falls out of sync. Is the music glitching? Is the disco light broken? Has the bartender had a stroke? You’re standing in the bar queue, increasingly irritated, waiting for a beer that never arrives.The DJ sings a pitch-down version of Fredis Milloinkaan, en löydä samanlaista, and a stranger buys you a drink. The evening ends with a shared after-work buffet featuring tapas.

DOCUMENTATION
The film is a 25 - minute summary of TEMPO, wich in its full lengts is a two hours performance. The piece was documented on the pre-showing on MDT the 11th of September 2026. The film was shot with a very rowdy and comfortable audience where everybody knew each other and the performers. Usually the atmosphere is more sustained, weird and elevated.
