Gala
Kuopio Dance Festival Gala brings together top contemporary dance artists and the most intriguing works of the year!
The Gala features several short pieces by leading Finnish contemporary dance artists and some of the country’s most acclaimed choreographers, joined by international stars.
The evening will open with Spiraali (Spiral) by Raekallio Corp., which is a sensual duet about an intimate relationship. The piece critically examines the modern conception of humanity through the language of contemporary dance.
The Gala will also feature two excerpts from Atte Kilpinen’s acclaimed Kreutzer Sonata. The dance production Kreutzer Sonata is a modern version of Leo Tolstoy’s novel from 1889. The work deals with love, jealousy, passion and life. How far are you willing to go for love and what can come of it?
The Gala will be hosted by Sami Sykkö, a charming and multi-talented figure, known as a journalist, performer, host, fashion expert and a professor, among others.
More performers will be revealed during the spring – stay tuned!
