Three strong, mysterious and vaguely dangerous women on stage. Breathtaking visions of light and scenery. Articulate, soft, strong and meditative contemporary dance. Tunes by Brahms, Bach and Chopin, disturbed by contemporary soundscape. These are the elements of choreographer Arja Raatikainen’s work Numen. This abstract piece is, in the words of Raatikainen herself, “a search for the intertwining ties between woman, animal and deity. The elements blend into a multifaceted movement, an image of humanity.” choreography: Arja Raatikainen dance: Jonna Eiskonen, Jenni-Elina Lehto/Satu Rekola, Terhi Vaimala lighting and set design: Jukka Huitila sound design: Antti Nykyri costume design: Marja Uusitalo costume realisation: Anne Aario, Marja Uusitalo music: J.
