It is a fascinating paradox that the artists who
create their own universes are also often the most sensitiv
seismographs of their time.
The new works are also characterised by new lightness,
a kind of gentle humour. It is liberating, confirming her
earnestness making it easier to grasp.

Prayer for
the One Whose Trembling Hands Are Still offers a surprisingly
fiery finish. Movements are stimulated in a new interesting
constellation with the Norwegian composer Roger Ludvigsen,
who have previosly collaborated with Sami musicians and the
singer Mari Boine.
Pahkinen tries a new approach, both defiant and archaically
ritual. Sensual and bold, this magician of the body searches
for her own time within the space of the dance.
