Naamioita III-IV : $b Ritari Klaus; Alkibiades; Carinus

In a stark, snow‑laden cabin deep in the wilderness, a weary knight named Klaus confronts his own ruin while a determined Inkeri declares her love. Their exchange spirals between raw confession and bitter sarcasm, revealing a life marked by violence, loss and a desperate yearning for redemption. The dialogue is charged with dark humor and a haunting lyrical quality that pulls the listener into Klaus’s crumbling world.

The piece forms the opening of a trio of early twentieth‑century Finnish dramas, followed by a five‑act murder tragedy about the ambitious Athenian general Alcibiades and a poetic five‑act play centered on the fallen emperor Carinus. Listeners can expect richly textured language, stark imagery and characters grapple with honor, fate and the weight of their deeds. Together, the works offer a compelling glimpse into a world where personal ruin and historical upheaval intertwine.
