About
Post Breaker’s Revenge explores the possibilities of breakdance movements in relation to aging. The working group formed by Antti Uimonen, Dennis ”Ätä” Nylund and Annina ”B-girl AT” Tikka has been working on the topic in residencies at Tero Saarinen Company and Taiteen vuoksi ry in 2023. During the residency at the URB 23 festival, they will record video conversations with three different guests: Tero Saarinen, Ramona Panula and Tuomas Määttä. The discussions are preceded by physical excercises that the dancers do together with their guests.
The videos will be published on Kiasma Theatre’s Vimeo account during URB23 festival and on this page.
