Kalevala näyttämöllä: II sarja (of 3)

A vivid stage version of Finland’s ancient saga brings the mythic world of forests, lakes and enchanted groves to life. The opening scene sets a moon‑lit shore where a chorus of island maidens sings beneath a towering pine, while shifting lights echo the moods of each character. The language blends classic Kalevala verses with a modern Finnish dialect, creating a bridge between past and present that feels both timeless and immediate.

At the heart of the drama are the restless hero Lemminkäinen and the proud island maiden Kyllikki, whose flirtatious banter and bold declarations spark both laughter and tension. Their families—stern mothers, curious onlookers, and mischievous spirits—populate the stage, adding layers of humor and folklore. Listeners will be carried by lyrical dialogues, lively choral interludes, and a soundtrack of traditional melodies that capture the pulse of a world where love, pride, and destiny intertwine.
