Mean Time Between Failures is an experimental performance art collaboration established in the year 2019 by artists Dash Che and Suvi Tuominen. They produce, choreograph, perform, teach and work as dramaturgs in the collective. For the past 5 years Mean Time Between Failures has developed a variety of performance works, engaged in discourses around art, and established collaborations with other artists, scholars and production platforms. 

Between 2023-2025 the duo has been working with a performance project that approaches the problem and concept of humor in performance making through various perspectives and histories. The project highlights East Slavic jesters, Skomorokhs, as its invisible protagonists and companions. The project is supported by Kone Foundation. Read more about the project here.
