In Lacrimae two dancers, Jyrki Karttunen and Sari Lakso interpret famous baroque opera death scenes together with composer Eero Hämeenniemi´s piano improvisation. “And though the tilte doth promise tears, unfit guests in these joyfull times, yet no doubt pleasant are the teares which Musicke weepes, neither are tears shed alwayes in sorrowe, but sometimes in joy and gladnesse.” John Dowland |
