The perceptible in the moment 

That Eva Lundqvist is one of Sweden's most distinctive choreographers was demonstrated with the production Angel landings - Foghorn (September 29, 2004).
The four dancers remain, maintaining their separateness, equally strong parts of the strictly abstract choreography. Lundqvist's choreographic language
has a breathless exactness and uncompromising quality - and the dancers answer the demands fully. Through her ability to build up a common conviction
together with her dancers, the choreography brings the dancers to a level beyond themselves so that the dance occasionally reaches a ritual, almost trancelike,
quality. In the moment that Ilkka Volanen's lighting design penetrates and shines through the movement, a singular work is created in which the elements
as well as the flow reach a significance that makes them perceptible depending on how one looks at them. This is a production to return to again
and again, a production that doesn't let the observer feel done with it.
