Tero Saarinen Company: Van Opstal | Karttunen

In June TSC’s exciting double bill combines a new creation Heart Drive with a Finnish contemporary dance classic Digital Duende.

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 TSC dancers.

Jyrki Karttunen‘s 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).
