Double Lives, a work for 20 dancers, continues the thematic journey that Saarinen embarked on with Next of Kin (Tero Saarinen Company, 2008): an exploration of humanity’s subconscious, mental conflicts, and patterns of behaviour. One major inspiration for the new work has been the universal idea of the doppelganger.

Saarinen and his creative visual team play with illusion and reality: the complex character of humanity is portrayed on stage – both figuratively and literally – with shadows and echoes.

“An impressive work of art --- magnificent aesthetics bring out the idea of a ´double life´ in a multilayered and refined way --- versatile choreography that is in constant conflict between certainty and longing ---  statuesque costumes“
Die Welt, Irmela Kästner, Feb.15, 2010
