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.
