Tero Saarinen Company’s new double bill combines a Finnish contemporary dance classic from Jyrki Karttunen with a new creation by the vanguard of European dance, choreographer duo Imre and Marne van Opstal.
Heart Drive (2022) is a gripping new creation by Dutch choreographers Imre and Marne van Opstal – an exploration of love, connection and pleasure, as well as the stigmas and moral taboos that exist within. The European premiere at Dance House Helsinki will be interpreted by eight stunning TSC dancers.

Length: 80 minutes (inc. intermission)

Get TicketsTero Saarinen Company’s double bill combines Heart Drive (2022) with Digital Duende (1998), a choreography by Finnish dance icon Jyrki Karttunen.
Digital Duende exudes deep emotion, and fascinates with its duality. It’s a cool, Nordic interpretation of imaginary fiery Spanishness. This witty, detailed and brilliantly danced duet made its choreographer a global phenomenon at the turn of the millennium. The re-premiere will be interpreted in turns by Samuli Emery and Mikko Lampinen (9–13 June) plus Mikko Makkonen and Jussi Ulkuniemi (14–16 June).

Get TicketsTero Saarinen‘s latest large-scale choreography Transit is set to Stonework (2015), Drifts (2016–17) and Water Atlas (2018) by composer Sebastian Fagerlund. The trilogy is combined with the spatial sound design and electronic music of Tuomas Norvio. The stage design centers on a dialog between an animated film installation by visual artist duo IC-98 and the lighting design by Minna Tiikkainen. The sculptural costume design is by Teemu Muurimäki.
The creation returns in our programme by popular demand. The Finnish premiere took place at Helsinki Festival in August 2021, under strict Covid restrictions.
