2015-2017 Celebration Of STEREOtypes and Burlesque

2015-2017 Celebration of STEREOtypes, a crazy cabaret series created and hosted by Agnes Kaszas and Lidia Bäck at Korjaamo and Vuotalo

"There was something missing in the art and party scene of Helsinki. So, we fixed it. We give you all in one: Live-music, stand-up, preaching, trash jokes, video art, DJ theatre, performance, burlesque, show-spectacle, and clubbing."

The club was a unique collaboration of several artists from different art fields. It played with the structure and the aesthetics of an old-school cabaret where different acts take place after each other. All acts are presented by a host who ties everything together.

Performers: Lady Laverna aka. Lidia Bäck, Ágnes Kaszás, Sara Melleri, Markku Haussila, Asta Honkamaa, Malin Nyqvist, Anna-Sofia Nylund, David Kozma, Ida&Jenny, and many others.

Sofi Oksanen-Norma's new novel launch party, by The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret  -burlesque at Aleksanterin Teatteri Helsinki Burlesque Festival

The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret performed three custom-created acts ordered for the release party of Sofi Oksanen’s then-new book Norma. The group got to read the final draft of the book earlier in the spring of that year. The whole event at the beautiful Aleksanterin teatteri in Helsinki with the show and panel discussions was streamed live via HS (the biggest newspaper in Finland). We got to meet Pekka Haavisto backstage and later we made a boob-related headline in the tabloids. 

Performers: TurrrboCherry /Ulrika Bachér, Tinker Bell /Ruska Schönberg, Lady Laverna /Lidia Bäck, Vera Devil /PaulaLaitinen, Amber Storm /Agnes Kaszas
