The artists decided to start from a clean slate and build the world of Pessi and Illusia from scratch. Familiar characters have gained new dimensions through movement, expression and visualization. The stage production creates a beautiful, rough-hewn and visually inventive world which expands Kokko\u2019s well-known story and characters into a multi-layered experience for the viewer. This is what Pessi and Illusia looks like in our day and age.<\/p>\n<p>The piece is a co-creation between Yli-Maunula and dancers Milla Virtanen, Teemu Tuohimaa and Katri Lausj\u00e4rvi, circus artists Sanna Vellava and Katja Kortstr\u00f6m, as well as musicians Ky\u00f6sti Salmij\u00e4rvi and Markus Lampela. Costume and set design are by Pirjo Valinen, assisted by Heidi Kesti. Sound design is by Aake Otsala and light design by Jukka Huitila. Assistant director is Milla Virtanen. Circus artist Ilona J\u00e4ntti has also been involved in planning the piece.<\/p>\n<p>The work was produced by Flow Productions in co-operation with JoJo-Oulu Dance Centre in 2015.
