Trickle Green Oak
Trickle, Green Oak is a work for four dancers, a strangely austere view of a mystical world. The movement language stems from the conflict between the strength of the body and its vulnerability.

“Finnish choreographer Susanna Leinonen’s stunning trickle green oak conjured up a surreal realm where bodies broke with the sounds of icebergs crashing into the sea. In this amazing fusion of butoh and ballet.”
