Performance Oestrus Youth by Anni Puolakka and Marta Trektere. A series of several works, born out of the two artists’ long-term co-operation by examining the relationship between friendship and intimacy, and the stereotypes determined by the larger society.

The performance is accompanied by a collaboratively made video and installation.
