Introduction
A Finnish–Lithuanian large-scale production invites audiences into a landscape where reality and imagination intertwine.
SUPERTHING is a rare opportunity to witness seven outstanding artists from Finland and Lithuania sharing the same stage. Striking choreography, a layered soundscape and constantly shifting visual worlds create a living landscape where longing and hope breathe side by side. Space and bodies vibrate with untold stories that echo through suspended moments. The work invites audiences to sense what has been lost, what remains, and what is still possible.
SUPERTHING is a place where patience and emptiness open a path towards reimagined futures. Multilayered and contemplative, the work encourages audiences to slow down, notice the unnoticed, and ask how we might learn to dream together again.
The work will receive its Finnish premiere on 8 September in the Erkko Hall at Dance House Helsinki. It will also be performed in Kuopio, the home city of Dance Theatre Minimi, on 24 November at the Minna Stage of Kuopio City Theatre. SUPERTHING had its world premiere in Klaipėda, Lithuania, on 16 April and was performed to sold-out audiences in Vilnius on 18–19 April as part of the New Baltic Dance Festival. This extensive collaboration project marks the beginning of Dance Theatre Minimi’s 35th anniversary season in autumn 2026.
Organiser: Dance Theater Minimi
