Mamuska Helsinki is Zodiak's relaxed underground event and art club. Mamuska provides an unique opportunity to present new work and works in progress, ideas and visions, trials and errors, short masterpieces, conceptual studies and dreams. Mamuska is not a talent show or showcase, but an open and informal performance forum and social event. The evening consists of short presentations (max 10 min) and socializing.

Mamuska Helsinki is open for performances related to music, visual art, dance, theatre and performance. Mamuska offers the chance to try out new ideas in front of an audience, without the demands of full productions.
