Babolat

“Susanna Leinonen has already demonstrated that she has a personal way of creating movement. She trusts in movement, dance, and the dancer.”

Babolat, Susanna Leinonen’s second full-length choreography, is comical in its sensibility and absurd in its logic as it looks at the lives of five people.

Financially supported by National Council for Dance, The Finnish Cultural Foundation and Arts Council of Helsinki Metropolitan Region

“Set to a terrific soundtrack, the piece is witty and knowing about its own sensuality. It may be the only festival dance piece I wasn´t ready to see end, and the one I would have readily watched again immediately…“

– Dance Europe (2002)
