ORANGE is a dance performance created for everyone – especially for children aged 3 to 9 and the adults in their lives. Dance Theatre Minimi's artistic director and choreographer, Taneli Törmä, is inspired by human connection, touch, and relationships. The work draws inspiration from Reidar Särestöniemi's painting Kielto ja Kaipaus, 1967. In the painting, two bears are seen embracing in an orange field. It's a playful and caring image – the orange color can symbolize shared connection, understanding, and respect for one another.
ORANGE will be touring eastern Finland in the summer and fall of 2026! See the tour dates here. The work can be booked for visits, tours, festivals, and events in Finland and abroad! Read more here.Learn more about Dance Theatre Minimi here. | |

Acclaimed choreographer and director Gunilla Heilborn presents the German premiere of DANTE at the Potsdamer Tanztage on 4-6 June 2026.
In a mist-filled landscape of songs, fragmented text, and restrained movement, three souls encounter one another on an enigmatic journey through time and memory. Past and present intertwine in a deeply personal interpretation of Dante’s enduring questions about humanity, longing, and existence. Performed in English, the work features Sophie Augot, Ludvig Daae, and Kristiina Viiala.
DANTE received the Swedish Theatre Critics Dance Award 2024 with the words:
"With a light-hearted take on the life of medieval poet Dante Alighieri and his "The Divine Comedy," Gunilla Heilborn and her ensemble take the audience on an existential excursion that is quirky, entertaining, and thought-provoking. "Dante" is another chapter in the choreographer's unique artistry that seemingly seamlessly moves between dance, philosophy, and image."

HABITAT is a new commissioned work created in collaboration with Balettakademien in Göteborg (SE), premiering at Balettakademien, on 22–24 May 2026. Read more and book your ticket here.
What shapes us the most – the place we are in or the path we take from there?
HABITAT, our living environment, could be likened to a state, a rhythm, or an echo of what we call home. We carry our habitat within us: in our habits, in our fears, in our longing. In the performance, the stage becomes a living terrain where boundaries are blurred between the inner and outer landscapes, between what we call home and what we have not yet dared to approach. Through the dancers' bodies, a negotiation takes place between what keeps them there and what calls them onward.
HABITAT is a physical and poetic dance performance about our different living environments – the ones we choose, the ones we are trapped in, and the ones we long to leave. Choreography by Helena Franzén. Music by Jukka Rintamäki. Film by Håkan Jelk. Sound & lighting design by Karl Wassholm.
