| Description |
Scheme of Things is Tero Saarinen's second work for Netherlands Dans Theater. The work presents a cornucopia of emotions and patterns of behaviour that repeatedly manifest themselves in our relationships. The core of the work are the significance of timing and reflections on emotional extremes and differing expectations - from possessiveness to fear of commitment, from greed and jealousy to selfnessless and safrifice. |
