DISSIMILIS
|
'Dissimilis' the latest performance of Sisus is a praise of diversity. The working group are two founding members of Sisus, Sofia Defour and Iida Sipilä and two new Sisus familymembers, Eveliina Saxman and Ebenezer Aidoo. The artists come from very different backrounds, and they have a common mission to promote diversity in circus art. They bring on stage a piece where diversity is cherished and emphasized. The working group raises topical themes in relation to discrimination, prejudice and cultural encounters. The theme is enriched by the artists own experiences of discrimination and prejudice. Although the performance deals with serious and difficult topics, our goal is to create an accepting and positive atmosphere that is transmitted to the audience. On stage there will be four peculiar characters encounters and absurd situations. The performance will be made in collaboration with Finlands national network against racism and xenophobia, Rasmus ry.
