Choreographer Tero Saarinen's TRANSIT will have its Finnish premiere during Helsinki Festival's opening weekend on 19–21 Aug 2021.

Set to Stonework (2015), Drifts (2016–17) and Water Atlas (2018) by composer Sebastian Fagerlund, the new large-scale creation examines our relationship with nature. Fagerlund's trilogy is combined with the spatial sound design of Tuomas Norvio, known for his imaginative work in electronic music. The stage design centres on an animated film installation by visual artist duo IC-98 together with lighting design by Minna Tiikkainen and costumes by Teemu Muurimäki. At Helsinki Festival, the creation is interpreted by thirteen dancers.

TRANSIT was created as a Nordic co-production with Skånes Dansteater. The premiere took place at Malmö Opera (SE) in 2020. Sustainable, resource-efficient solutions encompass the entire production, as costumes and stage design, based in part on recycled materials, are shared between TSC and SDT for future performances.

INGUN BJØRNSGAARD PROSJEKT
- World premiere of SEVEN DUETS in June
 
photo: Erik Berg

SEVEN DUETS reflects on the duet as a concept to examine variations of both tenderness, conflict and helplessness between two people. The dancerly duet is a returning trope in Ingun Bjørnsgaard's work, explored in a way that opposes seamless interaction to depict the complexity of human intimacy in its both wavering and alluring forms and fragments of movement. SEVEN DUETS brings together alienation and longing for life in a choreographic language that opens up to the viewer's own narrative. In a first time collaboration with award-winning fashion designer Michael Olestad as costume designer.

Premiere: Wednesday 16 June 2021, Bærum Kulturhus, Sandvika (NO). More info and tickets here. Co-produced with Bærum Kulturhus.

The anthology Through Choreography takes a closer look at key elements of Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt's aesthetics, methods and circuit of motives, characterized by the close collaboration between the choreographer, the dancers and composers. Through seven essays and conversations, the anthology wishes to contribute to reflection within a live artistic practice. The book is richly illustrated by photographers who have followed the Ingun Bjørnsgaard Projekt since its establishment in the early 1990s. The book is in both Norwegian and English. Order here.
