"With his uniquely nervy, somewhat “rough” style, Saarinen embodies an existential bewilderment. The repetitive giddiness returns in Transfigured Night where Mikki Kunttu’s expressive lighting and Rachel Quarmby’s knitted woollen costumes unite the earthbound Scandinavian style and the explicitly transparent."
Saarinen’s piece is a real delight, the music and the lighting design -- contribute to making a total artwork.
