Introduction
Asetelma neljälle tanssijalle is the breakthrough work of choreographer Tommi Kitti, with which he won the prestigious Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis in Paris in 2000.
Spiraali (Spiral) is a sensual duet about an intimate relationship. The piece critically examines the modern conception of humanity through the language of contemporary dance.
In this new staging, Spiraali will be performed for the first time with live music by Sampo Lassila and Ville Hukkinen.
The works are reimagined and produced by Raekallio Corp. The performances feature the four-member Doina Klezmer Orchestra.
The event is organized by Raekallio Corp.
