Roots – A Work in Progress

Rootrs_WorkInProgress 3Troubadours is a trio of performance storytellers from different countries: Tom Van Outryve (BE), Markus Luukkonen (FI) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO). In May 2015 they created and performed the show MOBILE DREAMS in Ghent. From then they have travelled all over Europe with that first creation to great acclaim from audiences.

The 18th of October 2018 they are returning to Ghent to perform a work in progress version of their upcoming show ROOTS! In the show all three performers have dug far back into their individual family histories, the legends of their cultures and even their own DNA to find forgotten tales and memories of who we are and where we come from. With their signature humour, energetic performance and deep sense of wonder, 3Troubadours will take you to places and times you’ve never been before.

The work in progress performance will be in English, spiced with the native tongues of the performers

Storytelling @ Sompasauna

STORYTELLING @ SOMPASAUNA

RUNOKUU 2018

August 22nd at 7pm
Sompasaaren laituri, Helsinki

Join us in sharing your stories by the open campfire of atmospheric Sompasauna! In accordance with Runokuu´s this year´s theme, the motif of our storytelling session will be roots. Storytellers of Samova ry, Markus Luukkonen and Ilkka Hautala, as well as musician Liila Jokelin will be pacing up the conversations by the fire.

Markus Luukkonen is a storyteller who combines folk lore, myths and personal stories in his performances. Markus tells his stories with a twinkle in his eye & in a down to earth kind of manner.

Ilkka Hautala is a teacher of eloquence (puhetaide) and storyteller, who wants to see the meaning in meaningless and legends as a pocket size property of everyone. Story is a tool, art and determinant of one´s humanity to him.

Singer-songwriter Liila Jokelin believes in a strong story. In Liila´s songs melancholic folk, old hit songs and punk-spirited ecstacy fuse into a tune with a core of raw joy and will to love.

In collaboration with Samova ry, Sompasauna, Runokuu

Wandering through landscapes

PHOTO_3Troubadours_Iceland_Residency Roots Residency

Iceland 9-20th May 2018.

Research and networking trip to Iceland with storytelling collective 3Troubadours.

We walked through lava fields,walking and talking – on rain and wind.

Meeting new friends and colleagues,

talking about stories, heritage, dreams, love

and ancestors. The landscape all the time around us.

Ancient and same time young, solid rock that seems to move

– the landscape of extremes.

Roots Residency Iceland was a part of working progress of our upcoming storytelling performance. Roots is about heritage, it’s about DNA, it’s about Europe, humanity and some details about trees. Roots premiere (Nov 2018) at Warsaw International Storytelling Festival
