The Finnish National Ballet has extended a hand to Boulder dance company Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet to perform at the Finnish National Opera Sept. 9, 10, 13 and 17.
It will be the second European performance in about a year for the tiny, seven-year-old dance company. Lemon Sponge Cake head Robert Sher-Machherndl and Finnish National Ballet etoile dancer Minna Tervamaki will perform a 30-minute duet from Lemon Sponge Cake’s recent program “Bach 260.”
Last year they performed “Liquid-Space” at the Alexander Theater in the Helsinki, marking Lemon Sponge Cake’s official European premier.
Sher-Machherndl and Tervamaki have collaborated on and off since 2007 and drawn praise from the New York Times and others for their intuitive, boundary-pushing work.
The company will premier its latest work, “Shiro Shiro,” at the University of Denver’s Newman Center for the Performing Arts on March 19.
