Four originators, five dancers, all must have trust, both in the fall and in the lift. They are components in a musical motor that was once invented by a Frenchman fascinated by mechanics, Maurice Ravel. His Boléro bolts somewhere in the background of Rintamäki´s sound picture, whose volume just grows, interrupted by a wedge, or rather a gleam, of bell sounds. The costumes, scenography and light quote the rhythmic core motif – in graphic shapes on a reflector, in a collar’s creases and folds, garments that can take the shape of a bolero, a magical flower, or more industrial: cogwheels.
Unfolding, increasing, folding, a growing volume alongside a rhythm where bodies are united in a motoric musicality, both monumental and divinely light.
