We are giving away tickets to choreographer Tero Saarinen's ``VORTEX'' to 4 groups of 8 people☆
``VORTEX'' is a masterpiece choreographed by Tero Saarinen, Finland's most famous choreographer, at the request of the Korean National Dance Company, and premiered in Seoul in 2014. This was a unique opportunity for Tero Saarinen, who had long been interested in Asian bodies, and since its premiere, the work has continued to be performed at various locations including the Cannes Festival, Paris (Théâtre du Chaillot), and New York. Tero Saarinen gave this work the title ``VORTEX = Vortex''. The culture and traditions of Scandinavia and Korea meet and combine, stimulating the primal identity within the dancers, and creating a new image with the image of being caught up in a whirlpool and violently colliding with each other's cultures. We succeeded in guiding physical expression.
“I have always been fascinated by the ritualistic nature of dance.
Through the fusion of my own traditions and experiences with Korean traditions,
I feel I have been given a wonderful gift. ”
- Tero Saarinen
What is noteworthy about this performance is that Tero Saarinen is challenging the Korean National Dance Company, which specializes in traditional dance and music, using contemporary dance techniques, and bringing the traditions of Korean dance into modern times with innovative choreography. . This is a live performance by Jang Yong-gyu's music band ``Be-Being,'' which uses the unique forms and materials of Korean traditional music while making full use of new forms and performance techniques that are free from traditional performance methods. As the title means "vortex," "VORTEX" features powerful choreography that creates a stage with agile movements that change instantly, and features a variety of dances that change from solos to duets to group dances. The “vortex” engulfs the viewer in a thrilling way. "VORTEX" is a masterpiece created by Tero Saarinen's choreography and the Korean National Dance Company, which depicts the charm of Asian bodies.The performance will be invited to Kanagawa in the fall of 2019, just in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. This is a beautiful dance piece that connects three countries amidst an exciting atmosphere.
