By the edge of a deep forest and the shore of a biting sea, an old man sets his mind on a journey to the underworld - to learn the secrets of the dead. But - and this is where it gets tricky - he wants to stay alive. Sarah Liisa Wilkinson brings you tales from the twisting roots of Finnish myth and folklore: a woman spinning her own iron hair; a shapeshifting sage; a giant, fat with spells, sleeping deep in the earth; a coat of fire, gloves of pain - dangerous tools and hard lessons on how to live, how to let go... and how to come back. This performance contains references to death, threat, and violence contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor.
