Elina Pirinen, Tom Rejström & Jenni-Elina von Bagh: Quattro Stagioni
Quattro Stagioni is a four-part theatrical pizza baked by dance artist Elina Pirinen, theatre artist Tom Rejström and dance artist Jenni-Elina von Bagh. It brings together vivacious and refined flavors, the troubling swings of the seasons, pastoral farce, family and nature relations, neoclassism and old modernism, ruthless composition, cheeky characterisations, overflowing speech and austere attitudes, grand beautiful dance, a character named Spring, the rhythm and dislocation of four-part form, the empty pockets of Granny and Grandpa, summer wind, and the craft of expression.
Each author signs a slice of the pizza, haphazardly mashing their creative desires into the Vivaldian cycle. The agony of creation helps with the agony of the world. One season is dedicated to 14-year-old Olavi von Bagh and his vision. As these four artists collect their thoughts, knowledge, visions, experiences, practices and politics, and as deeply intertwined artistic currents and chemistries merge with a topographical quadruple perspective, a new, impossible mutation is born. At Stage Konepaja lives a shared dream of the four seasons – something for everyone and nothing for no one.
