On the Nightside

Spirits rise up in vengeance as humans assault nature’s resources and mess with the natural order of things, driven by their dark side. Based on short stories by Samuli Paulaharju, this production involves the choirs Väki and Tampereen Ihankaikkinen Kuninkaallinen Tuomiokuoro and transports listeners to a realm of demons and heathens, priests and woodland menaces. Suspenseful yet gently humorous, the production features music by Petra Poutanen and is directed by Antti Laukkarinen.

A massed choir of 70 singers presents three works in which humanity is at once great and small. In gripping yet amusing narratives, poor little people make all kinds of arrogant mistakes in their pride and greed and struggle to escape the inevitable. The forces of nature put humans in their place; the system returns to equilibrium.

This is an outdoor performance. The venue will be announced later. Tickets will go on sale as soon as the venue is confirmed.
