CALENDAR 2023

CURRENT & COMING

CHANGE

World premier at Klara scenen, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern with music by Mika Takehara, Jukka Rintamäki, Mattias Petersson, Kari Ikonen and J.S. Bach.

Chang/c/e is a sensory experiment of how our vision is affected by music and our understanding of movements is calibrated by the colors of light. The audience will be rolling dice for how dance, music and light will meet.
Every performance will be unique.

SPIDER
SOLO
Maundy Thursday special, Virpi´s solo to Ulf Norberg´s cathedral organ improvisations.
 
“Yesterday I saw Virpi Pahkinen perform the human battle with magical movements. Her little finger says as much as a whole novel.”
Theodor Kallifatides, author  
WIND VIGIL

Wind Vigil is a journey into the hydrosphere, embodying transformations of water. Movements may meander, as silent as snowfall or roar and flow before settling in the secretly still clarity of a snow crystal.
