Carl Knif Company has risen to the forefront of Finnish dance with blend of highly recognisable narratives and virtuoso dancing since the start of the company in 2012. The themes of the pieces are frank, personal, and fearlessly bare, and yet mercifully poetical. The straightforward nature of the work, which arises from a profound artistic sensitivity and a strikingly well conceived visuality, makes the pieces memorable.
Lately Knif has broadened his work to the field of theatre. His adaptation of Kafka’s Metamorphosis has played for sold out audiences during multiple seasons. The production has toured both nationally and internationally.
