Tsuumi
{
Tsuumi Dance Theatre is a Finnish dance theatre combining folk dance to contemporary dance and theatre. Its members are professional dancers and musicians. The group says that they have done for folk dance what Värttinä did for folk music: "updated the tradition, infused it with the energy and the coarse power of expression that folklore has and drug it out of its dusty archives, making it accessible to the people and letting them enjoy it."
The group's artistic directors are Reetta-Kaisa Iles and Tuomas Juntunen.
Tsuumi was founded in 1998. The dance group has staged more than 40 premières and performed on numerous Finnish and foreign stages.
