Emil Santtu Uuttu

Emil Santtu Uuttu’s writing and stage works explore deep time, constant change, and pleasure, or the role of memory institutions and historical research. Uuttu’s first play 'Ihana tytär Erika – Huomioita nimestä' ('Lovely Daughter Erika – Notes on a Name', translated by Roy Boswell) was awarded both the Archival Act of the Year 2023 and the Lea Prize 2024.
