REVIEWS

They are a stylised duo characterised by reflections, seeking contact and dependence. An extra-terrestrial – like the soundscape – exploration where the dancers give and take energy from each other before calm hand movements rain out in the silence. Like Deleuze’s philosophy, “Fold” extends beyond Western dualism, simultaneously becoming a delicate extension of Lindfeldt’s sculptures, which, in coming into being spatially, transcends the boundaries between subject and object.

Dagens Nyheter, Sweden

“Fold ends with both dancers together and when this happens there is a powerful tension between them. Their gazes are fixed on each other and their movements are precise. The evocative music rumbles, squeaks and moves in waves. Bird song, animal noises and suddenly together both dancers are on the hunt.”

Nummer.se, Sweden

In Pontus Sundset, Virpi Pahkinen has clearly found a soul mate and a partner cut and cut for her. Their peculiar dancer qualities are very well matched. Then also the closing couple dance will be the highlight of the evening.
