Mabel Revival is a hilarious mix of dance, performance, and cabaret. The choreographer Liisa Pentti together with musician Robert Kock are taking their audiences into the charmed world of female divas, adored icons and objects of our desire. Mabel is a woman without remorse, a female diva and shaman-performer. To celebrate life, one need to speak about death and embrace the realms where we can enter only in our dreams – thus the story of Marbel Revival. Mabel is a celebration of femininity and ageing and asks the question of how women in their 60s are still relevant on stage and how they are represented.

A&S Space travellers is a performance with parents and child for intergenerational audiences. It is a scenic proposal that aims to generate empathy, fantasy, dialogue and communication, within a fantastic Martian universe. The performers build an unknown place filed with volumes, circles, and spheres. Beings from another planet come to visit this world to interact and play with terrestrials. It is a surreal work with plastic and pictorial magic created through objects, dance, the relationship with technology, and audience participation.
