Morphed

Tero Saarinen Company (Finland)

In the spirit of Finland’s centennial, DanceHouse is pleased to present the acclaimed work of celebrated Finnish choreographer Tero Saarinen. In Morphed, seven male dancers seduce, challenge, demand and swagger, borrowing from casual street dance, Gene Kelly musicals, classical 19th century and modern dance. Saarinen masterfully crafts a fresh exploration of masculinity undaunted by the extremes of sensitivity and heroism, and all that lies between.

Other Activities

“A seldom-seen, wondrous combination of hardness and softness brings out the potential of dance.”

Dance Magazine

“…beautiful choreographies, oscillating between contemporary dance, Butoh and classical ballet. Vigorous jumps are contrasted with equally touching, troubled motions…Roaring applause for an unusual, individual, fascinating performance.”
