Annamari Keskinen and Ryan Mason SUPERTHING

This Finnish-Lithuanian joint production invites the audience into a world where reality and imagination intertwine.

SUPERTHING is a rare opportunity to witness seven top‑tier artists from Finland and Lithuania sharing the same stage. Awakening choreography, a layered soundscape, and constantly shifting visual worlds create a living landscape where longing and hope breathe side by side. The space and the bodies tremble with untold stories that echo through suspended moments. The work invites the audience to sense: what has been lost, what remains, and what might still be possible.

SUPERTHING is a place where patience and emptiness open a path toward reimagined futures. This multi‑layered and contemplative piece asks us to slow down, to notice the unnoticed, and to wonder how we might learn to dream again — together.

The work will have its Finnish premiere on Tuesday 8 September at Tanssin talo’s Erkko Hall in Helsinki, and it will also be performed in Tanssiteatteri Minimi’s home city of Kuopio on 24 November on the large Minna Stage of the City Theatre. SUPERTHING had its world premiere in Klaipėda, Lithuania on 16 April, and was performed to sold‑out audiences on 18–19 April in Vilnius as part of the New Baltic Dance festival. This extensive collaborative project will launch Tanssiteatteri Minimi’s 35th anniversary season in autumn 2026.
