Reviews

”In terms of dance, Hz was top-notch. The dancers Elina Häyrynen, Natasha Lommi, Saida Solla, Eero Vesterinen and Riccardo Zandonà were like finely-tuned instruments, with every part of their body reacting sensitively to the surrounding sounds.”

Demokraatti, 1 April (Finland) / Hz

”I was taken aback by the dedication of Saida Solla, who could still be described as young.”
