HOW (NOT) TO DIE - long ago in Finland

Performance storytelling by Sarah Liisa Wilkinson

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.

‘Effervescent, funny and refreshing’ ★★★★ EVERYTHING THEATRE

Content: This performance contains references to death, threat, and violence contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor.

Duration: 75mins (TBC)
