Among the leading choreographers in the world of dance in Europe, Tero Saarinen is attracting attention. A choreographer representing Finland, where contemporary dance is thriving, has a reputation for large-scale, energetic choreography. In today's dance world, where the tendency to make it smaller and smaller is sometimes seen, the thick and precise choreography is attractive. After working as a soloist in the Finnish National Ballet, he studied oriental dance and martial arts and came to his own unique dance expression. The low center of gravity that is rooted in the earth, the exquisite relationship between balance and off-balance, etc., is a dramatic and poetic convincing movement. Finland has been introduced to dance but early. There was also an encounter with Butoh that made Saarinen aspire to be a choreographer.
"When he felt the limitations of the ballet technique and wanted to deepen the knowledge of different dances, he met the stage of butoh and was shocked. His curiosity brought me to Japan and to Kazuo Ohno of Kamiseigawa. ”
After a training trip to learn Asian dance, he came to Japan in 1992 and studied at Kazuo Ohno Dance Institute for a year It is. He received a direct glaze from Kazuo Ohno who was still doing dance activities vigorously. Knowing the cramped thinking of the ballet's thinking of "shape" from the freedom of the dance of Ohno, he was surprised at the freedom dance that was released from the shape, and he felt an overwhelming sense that awakens the inner instinct It is said. "Oh Kazuo Ohno and Keito know the truth of dance different from the theory of the West, and as a result they were inspired by both. They were able to look back on the past, taste the present, hope for the future. It was a wonderful experience to feel the butoh dance directly, and he thinks that Kazuo Ohno had a dancing soul that resonates with the eternal time while breathing in the present.

The work of Saarinen, which gives intimate emotion in abstract beauty, is visually beautiful. The tense beauty space created by the carefully choreographed movement and sophisticated lighting is impressive.
"The Finns react delicately to the light of nature. They live much of the year without light, and suddenly in the summer there is a sudden burst of light. This dramatic change is affecting the artist. I think I can not work without him because I have continued to work with the lighting house, Miki Kuntu, not only for lighting design but for showing space construction, and it works on my sensibility again, creation of is me and inspired by the manner "
" Mofuto "in August last year, the latest work that was premiered at the Helsinki Festival. It is an energetic work in which eight male dancers dance on a beautiful stage created by a close collaboration with Kunto.

The song has a kinetic sound and a large amplitude from violent violentness to delicacy. The reason for producing provocative, emotionally rich and expressive dance can be said to be the music of salonen "
