Jyrki Karttunen - Finland Human Imitations

‘Openly theatrical, entertaining, emotional and hilarious...
an enchanting journey with surprising details and twists’

TANSSI MAGAZINE

‘One of the great conjurors of contemporary dance... deeply tickling humour and emotive stage-struck magic. Outstanding, plucky and lovely’
DANCE EUROPE

Fizzing with originality and humour, Finland’s Jyrki Karttunen and company of five male dancers perform expressive dance theatre experimenting with the idea of ‘being someone else’.

Fascinated by reinvention, Karttunen looks at how we adopt roles through different imitations in our everyday lives. Visceral dance collides with illusionary magic in this quirky and vibrant piece, as characters dress up and down, adopt manneristic movements, wrestle, and fl oat through the air, amplified with a techni-coloured musical score. This charming and high-spirited production from one of Finland’s leading choreographers has entertained audiences across the globe. Be the first to see this exclusive UK premiere in Woking.
