Tero Saarinen Company: Wild Is the Wind

The evening brings together works by choreographers from three generations: Carolyn Carlson’s solo Room 7, Tero Saarinen’s duet Garden, and Sonya Lindfors’ group work Wild Is the Wind. Despite the choreographers’ differing aesthetics, the works are united by a reflection on humanity and by strong performances shaped by distinct individual voices.

Tero Saarinen returns to the stage in Room 7, a new solo created for him by Carolyn Carlson. Having built a significant international career as a solo dancer, Saarinen dives into archetypes of the mind through the absurd and Carlson’s signature poetic expression. 

In Saarinen’s new duet Garden, two people construct their shared way of being in a world where the connection to nature has become blurred. In the piece, the garden appears as a metaphorical space in which the audience observes, with a sense of wonder, the human relationship to environment, form, and time. 

The evening’s premiere piece is a commission by Sonya Lindfors. Wild Is the Wind, which lends its name to the triple bill, is Lindfors’ major scale work featuring TSC dancers alongside dancers Akim Bakhtaoui, Marlon Moilanen, Axelle Munezero, and Maele Cheza Sabuni as well as live trumpeter Devina Boughton.
