The light of the moon leads the way in Virpi Pahkinen's anniversary work, a tribute to the power of dance.
For forty years, Virpi Pahkinen has been on stages around the world. She made her debut at the age of 18 and has since developed a unique movement language that touches both body and mind. Her art has taken her to over 130 cities in almost 50 countries, from continent to continent, from the Nobel Festival in Stockholm to the Library of Alexandria. She has received several of the most prestigious awards in Swedish performing arts, including the Svenska Dagbladet Opera Prize and the Litteris et Artibus.

Virpi Pahkinen is one of Sweden's brightest international dance artists, with an ever-expanding universe. Just in time for her fortieth anniversary, she creates a new work, inspired by celestial bodies. Dancing along a multi-dimensional path towards the unknown, she is joined by her recurring dance partner Pontus Sundset. With power, light and beauty, they portray the great mystery of life, in a poetic protest against the stress of today.
