MONOLIT POLYGON

MONOLIT POLYGON

A versatile and surprising work in which a large group forms visual puzzles; black fountains, crystallographic mirrors, weird insects. Chopin´s brilliant etudes flow between Jonas Sjöblom´s clubmusic and electronic soundscapes. Thrilling solos rise from the breath waves of the corps de ballet.

With support from Statens Kulturråd, Stockholms stad and Stockholm Läns Landsting. Monolit Polygon is producted in collaboration between Virpi Pahkinen Dance Company,Balettakademien Stockholm and Kulturhuset Stadsteatern.

REVIEWS

”With razor sharp precision the bodies seem to bring about supernatural formations.”

Swedish Radio

”Monolit Polygon at Stockholm City Theatre is the largest and possibly the most beautiful work that Virpi Pahkinen has created.”

Expressen

”Inspired by the mysteries of mathematics and philosophy, Virpi Pahkinen directs a large ensemble in the new work Monolit Polygon. Beautiful and touching with Pahkinen´s unmistakable movements.”
