Two powerful new ballets exploring lightness, gravity and flow
An evening of two contemporary ballet works that turns its attention to one of life’s essential elements: air.
Air is everywhere — it permeates all things and moves between us. Sometimes it lifts and carries us gently, other times with great force.
The sensation of lightness, even the dream of flight, has fascinated humankind for centuries. Dance often aspires to airiness, while also accepting its impossibility and the ever-present pull of gravity.
Two renowned Finnish choreographers, Minna Tervamäki and Anu Sistonen, take on these themes in their new works.
