`One of the best dance films produced in Finland`- Auli Räsänen, ”Helsingin Sanomat” (”Helsinki Times”)
`Important collaboration between artists and choreographer, Opal-D`
- Bettina Trouwborst, Ballet-tanz, critic`s survey 2003
Opal-D is an abstract work of contemporary dance and media art. It is a psychedelic dive into a timeless moment where the ends of the endless finally meet. This work is based on the elements of time, space, movement and strong visual aspect. It takes the spectators to the inmost and makes us ask where we are heading for.
