“Miten hellästi sinä kosketit ja kuitenkin kaikki minussa järkkyi” (”How softly you touched me and yet it shook everything in me”). Vuokko Koistinen

Inspired by a quote from Finnish Vuokko Koistinen dancers from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia meet in search of contact. Each person with their background, roots and values. Despite different viewpoints they find the same rhythm. Inspired by the meeting and time together they have created Touching Point, a performance about meeting, seeing and be influenced by other people.
