Dansbana! Amos Rex: DeLyxx Decadence
FREE ENTRY
~ 90 MINUTES
dansbana, lasipalatsi SQUARE
Schedule:
Monday 3 August 5 pm
Want to party?!?!!
For one evening only, dansbana dissolves into a decadent dancefloor hosted and performed by the chaotic cabaret collective DeLyxx.
These hot alter-egos are summoning their unhinged, delusional, sloppy, over-dramatic, euphoric selves who are not afraid to take space, making an arthouse into the open air party of the summer, no bouncers allowed.
Decadence is emancipation.
Decadence is released temptation.
Decadence is everything you didn’t know you needed.
But now you do.
You’re on the guestlist.

DeLyxx is a cabaret collective created and performed by actors Antonia Atarah, Sara-Maria Pirhonen and a guest DJ. Behind the curtains is costume designer Meri Craig whose designs and visual compositions are always tailored to the event in question. Atarah and Pirhonen are graduates of the University of the Arts Helsinki, and Craig is a graduate of Aalto University.
Their performances explore hyper/alter-ego, audience contact, drag and taking and giving space. The performances are known for their tackyness and playfulness and are heavily influenced by pop and club culture, advertisement and show aesthetics, which they then with pleasure alter and distort. The group was founded in 2022 and they have been performing in various events and parties.
