Tero Saarinen's HUNT, influenced by the duality of life and the transience of corporeality, was commissioned by the Venice Biennale in 2002. The work, praised by audiences and critics alike, was labelled one of the most significant contemporary reinterpretations of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.  

Rooted with Wings, directed by Thomas Freundlich, is a visual dance documentary that explores the work of internationally acclaimed choreographer and dancer Tero Saarinen, granting the viewer a unique impression of this extraordinary artist's creative process.
