Steps from Behind Voices

Escape. Dreams. Hope. Steps from Behind Voices (Askelia äänten takaa) is an inevitable journey towards the unknown. The journey is personal yet shared. Who leads, who calls, have we lost our way? Each step in the darkness carries hope for a better tomorrow.

AB Dance Company and Alpo Aaltokoski Company’s new production invites you to discuss the world in which we live. The stage brings you both the AB Dance Company group and three Ukrainian dancers of Ethno Contemporary Ballet. Steps from Behind Voices is choreographer Alpo Aaltokoski’s debut with AB Dance Company and Ethno Contemporary Ballet.

Steps from Behind Voices is Aaltokoski’s tribute to Georgian composer Giya Kancheli (1935–2019) and the choreographer’s third production set to his music. One starting point to this production comprises the emotions and vision brought about by Kancheli’s music.
