Doves and Bloods

It’s an enchanting dawn. The children of the beach are sparkling in their swimsuits. Their eyes are filled with sand dust and their chests are hot with blood. The shells of four wild horses hang from a tree. Farces and fanfares lunge like a stray dog’s fart in a murky pool.

In Elina Pirinen’s new multi-artistic stage work, eight adults and eight children perform intense and wonderfully strange games of transformation for themselves and for all of us. They dance, sing and play two ritualistic fables, which transform the big terracotta stage into a whirlwind of phantasms full of unrestrained alter egos, their romance and missions, leather and time, caccio e pepe, C major, tantrums and ghosts.

Doves and Bloods is a hilarious and hopeful game of metamorphosis, building bridges between generations. It freely associates between the magical and the ordinary, the contemporary corporeal, visual art and alternative symphonic music in a divine connection, where the variously wounded still have dreams and a pulse, and a tuned horn next to them.

Let la Dolce Vita be that we get to shine through our subconscious together with our companions, embraced by compassion.
