Beautiful Chaos 2.0 – Premierby Pirita Tuisku and Thabo Mokolobate

What happens when two artists from different backgrounds meet? Beautiful Chaos 2.0 highlights the beauty, vulnerability, and connection that arise when differences are embraced and celebrated.

Blending dance, film, and spoken word, this unique performance explores the evolving friendship between two artists from different cultures, and the unexpected shifts in identity that come from learning each other’s stories.

Pirita and Thabo bega the journey with this work in 2019, paused during the pandemic then paused during visa challenges, and now returns with renewed energy and a powerful message about diversity and collaboration.

Join us for an unforgettable, intimate experience that goes beyond performance—inviting you into the heart and soul of creative discovery.

Pirita is a Finnish dance artist and Thabo is a South African poet and spoken word artist, both of them based in Edinburgh. Together, they blend their unique backgrounds to create performances that celebrate diversity, connection, and the power of creative collaboration.
