About



Men of Honour is dance piece about “Tough Guys” as portrayed in old mafia movies. Men of Honour challenges- in the spirit of the Sopranos- the romantic worldview of violence, vengeance and death in an intelligent and exhilarating way.

Men of Honour was first premiered in 2002 in Helsinki, Zodiak – Center for New Dance, and this remade Men of Honour – Retro 2 had its premiere in 2009.
