In both theatres and concert halls, there has traditionally been an implicit barrier between stage and audience, also known as the fourth wall. The present article explores the ways in which the Finnish popular singer Arja Koriseva plays with, questions and crosses this barrier in her live performances. Special attention is paid to how Koriseva's use of the stage and auditorium space contributes to the meanings of the songs performed and to the identification of audience with the performance.
