Gangewifre is a project that transforms its shape according to the venue. It is like a living organism, a weave of thin ropes that cross each other like a net and create an illusion of weightlessness. Jäntti has performed versions of the piece in Teatro a Corte Festival in Turin, Spoleto International Festival in Charleston, USA, in Festival Internacional de Danza Aérea de Costa Rica, Young Dance Festival in Zug, Switzerland, in several botanical gardens including Palanga in Lithuania, Prague in Czech Republic and Helsinki, Finland; in Circus Village in Norway and in Cirko festival and Stoa Theatre in Helsinki.
