Silence

​​​

 

Jarkko Mandelin's new work Silence takes his trademark contemporary dance, acrobatics and martial arts choreography, which combines different techniques, even further.

"Silence is a dance performance inspired by the performance of classical music. The dance company forms an orchestra in the tradition of classical music and does its utmost to bring the elements of the concert to life. Silence is the moment when the concerto ends, the world created disappears and the preparation for the next one begins."

Jarkko Mandelin is a contemporary dance choreographer trained in classical ballet and an internationally active instructor. He has created his own recognisable style and is particularly known as a developer of contemporary dance partnering and floor technique. Mandelin is the founder and artistic director of the Kinetic Orchestra dance company. Mandelin's previous work (Gravity) was performed at Helsinki City Theatre for two seasons in 2021 and 2023 to sold-out audiences.

Silence is a collaboration between Helsinki City Theatre, Kinetic Orchestra and Dance Theatre Minimi, with the support of the New Classics Fund.
