Tero Saarinen Company is performing at the opening festivities of Estonia’s newest cultural hub Viimsi Artium. TSC’s latest double bill Hz | HUNT will be presented on two separate nights: Saarinen’s HUNT on 30 Aug, and Nuutinen’s Hz on 1 Sept. On Tuesday, HUNT (2002) will be performed by Auri Ahola. The solo is followed by a screening of Thomas Freundlich’s documentary Rooted with Wings (Lumikinos Production, 2018), a visual dance film that explores the work of Tero Saarinen and the company. Hz (2022), commissioned from choreographer Johanna Nuutinen will be performed on Thursday by Elina Häyrynen, Sofia Ruija, Minttu Pietilä, Mikko Lampinen and Riccardo Zandonà. The show is followed by a concert from Estonian musician Maarja Nuut.

On Friday 26 August, during 15:00–20:00 at TSC Studio (Cable Factory, Helsinki), TSC holds a demo created by Sound Designer and TSC’s permanent artist in residence, Tuomas Norvio.  The aim of the demo has been to study and create different spatial sounds or landscapes, in various spaces within TSC’s premises, using Genelec’s multi-channel audio system and Flexound HUMU Augmented Audio Cushions. The “heart” of the demo is the steel tongue drum.
