“Mobile Dreams” is a poetic, funny and warm storytelling performance about the everlasting human search for truth and connection, freedom and beauty.

Stories from Kalevala
Stories from Kalevala
with Christine Cooper, Petra Poutanen, and Markus Luukkonen
23.3 at 6pm Arkadia International Bookshop, Nervanderinkatu 11, Helsinki
It’s midnight. The guts of Lemminkäinen are laid out, and a raven croaks at the back of the room. The ancient ritual of myth-telling is brought screaming into the 21st century by Christine and Petra with voices, instruments and strange machines…. Christine is a respected British storyteller, currently studying here at the Sibelius Academy. She tells the stories simply and directly, in English, evoking fragments of ancient runo-melody with her violin.. Petra is a musician without borders – she weaves dark, messy electronic sounds in and around the stories. This is Kalevala as you have never heard it before.
Free entrance – donations welcome!
