SILENCE - A new premiere by Jarkko Mandelin

Autumn is kicking off with rehearsals for Silence, the latest work from Kinetic Orchestra. This co-production with Helsinki City Theatre and Dance Theatre Minimi is set to premiere on October 9th, 2024. Tickets are selling quickly, so be sure to secure yours soon for this must-see performance of the season! https://hkt.fi/esitykset/silence/

Jarkko Mandelin's latest work, Silence, takes his signature choreography—an innovative blend of contemporary dance, acrobatics, and martial arts techniques—even further.

"Silence is a dance performance inspired by the presentation of classical music. The dance troupe forms an orchestra that echoes the tradition of classical music and does everything possible to bring the concerto's movements to life. Silence is the moment when a movement of the concerto ends, the created world vanishes, and preparation for the next begins."

Jarkko Mandelin has developed his own distinctive style and is particularly known for his contributions to contemporary dance partner techniques and floor work. Mandelin is the founder and artistic director of the Kinetic Orchestra dance company. His previous work, Gravity, was featured in the Helsinki City Theater's program for an exceptional two seasons, from 2021 to 2023, playing to sold-out audiences.
