Tanssiteatteri ERI

Southwest Finland, Turku

Dance Theatre ERI is renowned for its bold and multidisciplinary repertoire. ERI was founded in 1989 by Tiina Lindfors, Eeva Soini and Lassi Sairela, and since then we have been creating original and compelling theatre that is accessible to as many people as possible.

The aim of our ambitious professional theatre is to stir both emotions and thoughts – without forgetting humour. Moving stories get under your skin in our intimate theatre, and joy and emotion are strongly felt on both sides of the stage. We draw strength from our audience, and in return we tell stories that always reach the heart and soul, resonating with new echoes.
