ABSOLUT FINLAND 2007 EVENING

July 26 at 8pm Inmet-areena

The Absolut Finland 2007 evening offers spectators a unique overview of Finnish dance. A number of domestic artists will take to the stage over the course of the show to present both their own classics as well as new works, and there will also be time for short one-off improvisations. Dance Theatre Minimi directors Antti Lahti and Tuomas Juntunen's Absolute Finland, a danced sales pitch about Finland and the seemingly exotic things it has to offer that has already achieved cult status, will put the audience in the right mood, and the evening’s bill will also include performances and choreography by Tommi Kitti, Puhti and Susanna Leinonen, who will present a first premiere of her own solo choreography. Also appearing will be Finland's leading contemporary dance group, Helsinki Dance Company, which will present Eeva Muilu´s choreography Teos siitä mitä on (a work about things that exist)
and Full Moon Dance artistic director Harri Kuorelahti's Act of Unknown. The evening will be hosted by the dancer and stand-up comedian Johanna Keinänen.
