performance artist, actor and researcher
Big Blue Boy is a solo performance combining reading and video, and was seen in Cable Factory, Helsinki, during the Esitystaiteen markkinat live art festival in May 2015.
Through the actions and speech of little boys I examine the imaginary and kinesics connected to masculinity and power. Big Blue Boy observe those representations of masculinity we are at the same time idealizing and repressing. The performance text, written as a play script and performed by me, was based on audio recordings of family life and conversations between children and parents.
Concept, videos, text and performance: Nora Rinne.
