About



Liisas Danst Rosas is a frivolous homage by two female choreographers to the own bodies, and to the wild wisdom and embedded memories that those bodies carry.

Two choreographers with extensive careers – Liisa Pentti and Liisa Risu – revisit their dancing pasts in the 1980s: what were their influences back then, and how do they appear now, 30 years later?

Two Liisas reveal their idols and influences, from Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker to Bob Fosse, and create a world of their own. This cheerful and unabashed duet also creates a new story for dance history.
