The floor is lava.

Janina Rajakangas and her team have created a performance aimed at elementary school students and adults, which provides an opportunity to explore floods, heavy rains, and red sunsets through the medium of art. The performers play drums, dance, and sing. The performance has been developed through numerous workshops with professional dancers and children, where physicality, dance, and rhythm have provided tools for processing the changing world and connecting with others. The performance "Lattia on laavaa" can be seen as a window into the society and worlds in which children currently live. The creative process and workshops have listened to children, and the work has been made based on their interests, while avoiding entertainment media, known programs, or fairy tales. This has resulted in a place where fantasy and movement intersect, which also addresses a multi-generational audience. The premiere of the performance was in the fall of 2025 in Helsinki.
