acclaimed contemporary dance work in AlmI HALL

Tuomo Railo’s acclaimed contemporary dance work The Bach project will have its rerun in Almi Hall in autumn 2024. The Bach project originated from improvised dance videos made by Railo. Together with the dancers, Railo has deconstructed and reassembled the improvised dance so that the coincidental-like “freshly squeezed juice of dance” can be reproduced and duplicated for the eight dancers on the stage.

The piece features J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations interpreted by pianist Risto Lauriala. The dancers – Kasperi Kolehmainen, Taru Koski, Hanna Mönkäre, Alen Nsambu, Katri Soini, Mirva Vogt, Jussi Väänänen and Tuomo Railo – were born in five different decades. Choreographer Railo did not make this choice consciously, but it shows the pluralism of his artistic goals as well as his interest in the dimensions of the expression through movement of dancers of different ages.
