"Borrowed Light" performed at Jacob's Pillow Dance Fsstival in 2012.
"One of the most stimulating and moving performances of the decade" --The Village Voice
BORROWED LIGHT with Tero Saarinen Company and The Boston Camerata
Tero Saarinen's worldwide smash success Borrowed Light makes a triumphant return. Inspired by the Shaker culture, this memorable production is both austere and euphoric, with a score of powerful and moving Shaker spirituals performed live onstage by the preeminent early music group The Boston Camerata. Dancers twist, turn, and stomp in rigorous and ecstatic choreography as dramatic costumes and evocative lighting and set design by Mikki Kunttu add to a highly theatrical experience.
The Boston Globe called Borrowed Light "a powerful, strikingly original evocation of communal devotion unlike anything this reviewer has experienced." New York Times raves, "The movements evoke religious austerity and ecstasy" and "considering the...deep Shaker tradition in this part of the country, Jacob's Pillow is the ideal spot to see and hear this dance."
