The outdoor installation Radicalis 1.0 is built around a free-standing pole dance pole and a greenhouse-like tent. Inside the tent, the performer transforms into plant-like and earth-like states, challenging the logic of gravity.

The work is inspired by pole dance artist Noora Juppi, who is spending July in residence at the Regional Dance Centre of Western Finland in Art House RaumArs. During her residency, Juppi will be working on her ”Radicalis” project, which combines pole dancing, contemporary dance, and Japanese butoh dance in a site-specific environment. The artist can be spotted on various days throughout the city during July, and passersby can watch the work take shape as part of the daily landscape and the rhythm of the city!

The residency period is carried out in collaboration with the City of Rauma.
