AFTERLIFE (2017)
Visual design with Corinna Helenelund

AFTERLIFE is a simulation of Michael Jackson’s afterlife in the era of major pop deaths; a daring and hallucinatory get-together, creating a space for a joint voyage into the post-mortem consciousness of Jackson.
AFTERLIFE is a cut in the multiverse. It offers a one-time chance to step into a parallel spacetime and to meet Jackson’s spirit eye to eye.
AFTERLIFE reaches into the other side so we would momentarily feel what it’s like to be inside the head of a controversial pop star and just how beautiful it is to be free of selfhood.

Dramaturgy and direction: Emmi Venna and Ossi Koskelainen
With: Michael-Jan Havia, Ilpo Heikkinen, Corinna Helenelund, Anne Hiekkaranta, Ilmari Karhu, Liisa Pesonen, Tino Singh, Diana Tenkorang

​AFTERLIFE was performed in Helsinki on the 15th and 16th of November in the frame of Baltic Circle Festival.
