Birth

“BIRTH,” Leinonen’s latest creation, takes the audience on a profound journey through the emotions, thoughts, and movements that define both our conscious and subconscious worlds. “Everything begins at birth. Even if the world were to end, I believe that a fragment of human DNA would endure, igniting a new beginning. The questions of where, how, and in what form this might occur are deeply intriguing,” Leinonen reflects.

The work delves into themes of creation, identity, and transformation, seamlessly blending cutting-edge choreography with mesmerizing visual and auditory elements. “BIRTH” is a profound exploration of the human condition, showcasing Leinonen’s unique artistic vision and the remarkable talents of her ensemble.
