Wearing costumes from the collection \u201cNo Pain No Glamour\u201d by Leevi Ik\u00e4heimo (38th Festival d\u2019Hy\u00e8res Fashion Finalist), the performers morph into utopian birds; practising and performing extravagant courtship dances inspired by the Tekken 3 arcade game, boy bands, club culture and post-Internet humans. Through both animalistic and human-resembling rituals of seduction, the performance taps into the themes of masculinity, gaze, display of power as well as dominance hierarchies.<\/p>\n<p>The full-length piece, BIRDS OF PARADISE, is planned to premiere in 2026. The project is part of the pARTir initiative funded by the European Union \u2013 NextGenerationEU.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Tiia Kasurinen<\/i><\/b><i> is an artist and choreographer based in Helsinki, who graduated from Stockholm University of the Arts in 2017. She is interested in themes such as identity, gender, the gaze and pop culture, and explores them in her works through visual transformation, music and motion.
