Baltic Take Over arrives to Helsinki. Curators from each country have invited artists from all three countries to take over the city of Helsinki. Dance House Helsinki will be one venue during the event for performances Concent by Miss Plastica 7.6. and I slave: a contemporary love story by Be Company 8.6.
With this work, the choreographer is analyzing the concept of consent and lack of it to his opinion in our society. This work also scratches on ideas such as functioning by default and passive agreement without questioning. Povilas Bastys is exploring certain cultural areas where consent is a base element, and then he mixes it with situations in a society where he feels that it’s being disregarded or manipulated into otherwise.
Performance will be led by Miss Plastica, drag queen alter ego that choreographer has been researching since 2013. This character will be stretching boundaries with the audience by diving into the world of BDSM and its aspects of domination and submission. Also will explore certain martial arts and its connection to certain aspects of gender and power projection through its performativity.
