Lila Dance & Company was born around the choreographer Toni Keski-Liikala's Snail Trilogy within
the Finnish-Russian Comment project, in 2013. Lila Dance Company consists of visual artists and presents
dance in an inter-cultural way. The professional presence of the visual artists had a significant
role when Toni created his dance pieces.

The Snail Trilogy was shown at the community center Bokvillan's Culture Sunday on the 3rd of

Snail
The Snail Trilogy got started in Bokvillan park in Arabianranta neighbourhood,
that was one of the venues for the Comment project in Helsinki. When starting the work there was a snail on the stage,
and this made the starting point for the trilogy theme. The slowness of the snail, and the sea and
the sky opening out gave birth to a trilogy telling about wanderlust and dreams.
The second part of the trilogy, The Journey of the Snail, was born in the harbour environment of Jätkäsaari.
Since harbours are rugged and full of good byes, also the second part is based on these thoughts.
So the snail continued its fictive life where a long voyage would be a scary experience for a small creature,
but bring big expectations and fulfil dreams.
The third part of the trilogy, Destination, was created in St.Petersburg that as a big city gives an experience
of being small, protected and almost invisible.
Arriving was the dream of the snail, and in the end it ended up on the endless streets of St.Petersburg.
The Snail-trilogy tells a story about how it is worth facing your dreams,
even if you have to confront the reality.
