Monteverdi, Claudio - Third Practice; Rooted with Wings (DVD) - Tero Saarinen Company

“I am interested in how we must now recalibrate our existence and rethink our humanity: our relationship with the world, its changes, and history. Turning points always offer opportunities to discover something new, but unfortunately also to forget something. Amidst the turmoil of the world, the values of resonance in madrigals seem to be constantly relevant as a means of anchoring ourselves. On the other hand, just as the composer once did in his new work Seconda pratica, I too am looking for a new form of expression – a third practice – in my choreography.” (Tero Saarinen) Tero Saarinen’s third practice explores radical changes in values and perspectives. Claudio Monteverdi's revolutionary, breathtakingly beautiful madrigals are brought to life by twelve dancers and musicians. Tero Saarinen Company and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra join forces to create a captivating fusion of contemporary dance, live music, opera, and design. Rooted with Wings is a visual dance documentary that explores the work of internationally renowned choreographer and dancer Tero Saarinen, offering viewers a unique insight into the creative process of this exceptional artist.
