Description Strange & Special is an independent sequel to choreographer Jenni Kivelä’s highly praised solo performance Strange Plant. What happens when Strange Plant meets the alien species Special Plant? Is the other one poisonous? How long are its roots? Will it spread quickly? Does it also like springtime?

The performance centers around the naivistic relationship of two plants of different species. The duet asks how long we will remain alien species to each other. Until we get to know each other? Whenever we disagree? Always?
