ILES, SOINI & PERKOLA: ETUDES ON EXCELLENCETHURSDAY, MARCH 13, AT 7:00 PMVaasa City Theatre, Julia StageTickets: https://www.netticket.fi/pohjanmaa-tanssii-2025-vaasa
Etudes on Excellence is a finely tuned dialogue between a musician and a dancer, between an instrument and the human voice.
The performance explores the tension between expectations and reality, disrupts the reliance on certainty, and reveals the beauty of imperfection. What is deemed valuable in the moment becomes worthless, refinement turns brutal, civility reveals crudeness, and the carefully guarded façade crumbles to expose something deeply human.
"Movement and sound merge in this work performed by dancer Katri Soini, one of the finest solo pieces in recent memory." – Jukka O. Miettinen, Helsingin Sanomat, 2022
