It is a research of scandinavian nature, silence and personal stories of the people. Ancient Finnish instruments and singing styles with electronic looping machine and visual elements are brought intimately close to the audience with a northern down-to-earth attitude. Visual elements and sensations for all senses creates this fragile, beautiful, ugly and rough performance.
