"The social and consumerism-related criticism in the piece is not only presented in a captivating manner, which prevents it from becoming commonplace - it is also excellently danced. As an exception to the relatively scarce appearance of dance on the contemporary dance theatre scene, there is a lot of dance in "Phases". And this dance is beautiful, as are the dancers - so the aesthetic pleasure becomes equal to the intellectual one." ("Wittgenstein and 60 lipglosses in dance" 10.11.2008 Postimees, Kairi Prints)

"Phases" - movements in a changing environment

The dance production "Phases" premiering in the KUMU auditorium on November 6 examines, by using Steve Reich's specific energetic music, which thoughts and traces we leave behind and how they influence our surrounding environment.
The choreography of Fine5 Dance Theatre's production "Phases" is based on a phrase by L. Wittgenstein: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life".
Choreographers Tiina Ollesk and Rene Nõmmik and musician Risto Joost got their inspiration for the new dance production from contemporary minimalist music and from the work of one of the brightest representatives of contemporary music - Steve Reich.
In Reich's music, minimalism is mixed with rythmic impulsiveness, which as a result creates a contemporary and dynamic sound. In addition, live music will be performed during the piece by Ensemble Voces Musicales.
