What’s the point of complaining unless you have an audience, right?

Finnish artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen collected the pet peeves and angst-ridden pleas of people in Helsinki and then composed this choral work around the list of complaints.

Just a sample: “Tram #3 smells like pee. My tights slip when I walk. Why are they cutting down old trees for toilet paper and there’s still never any available? etc.”

Other cities caught on (Birmingham: “The bus at 6:30 isn’t frequent enough, and why does beer cost so much in town?”) to this hilarious and hackles-raising art. Need I say, who complains louder and better than Clevelanders? Ok, so who has a complaint that they want to register in the name of art?

To the Good Guys -  I love how you incorporate the arts as a revitalizing force in the community.  Charenton Theatre Group performs outdoors in the summertime - their first performance was, I understand, in a cemetery!  I saw them last summer at the Viaduct (near the Ponte Vecchio restaurant) performing Waiting for Lefty with the cityscape of

Cleveland in the background.  As the play was about a union upsurge (a la Norma Ray) the industrialized Flats was such a fitting setting.  You might want to contact the group and highlight them on the website.
