*Ethical waste is identifiable and non-identifiable human-origin biological waste generated in healthcare. Kääpäjaosto’s ethical waste consists of identifiable and non-identifiable textile waste generated from the art of three human animals.

Aleksis Kivi corridor, 2nd floor
5 PM—5.40 PM Echoes from the Kingdom of Hypnosis: Uniperformanssi
The performance invites the audience into the mythical, magical world of dreams. What kind of journey will it take you on?
Dreams are always our most deeply personal, most meaningful guide, and at the same time, dreams also contain the collective, ancient wisdom of humanity. Dreams open the door to a brighter consciousness, a broader understanding. Dreams speak to the deepest part of us.
The audience, transformed by their desire, has the opportunity to tell their dreams as the seed for the performance and experience the performance from its center. We do not interpret dreams, but we use dreams to find ways to access archetypes, myths, stories – to take in the soul of the world and broader consciousness.

Anne Lindholm-Kärki – Author, Creator and Trainer of the Sleep Coach® and Creative Sleep Coach® trainings, Hypnosis Coach
Eija Laakso Reiki – Teacher, Energy Therapist, Creative Sleep Coach®

6 PM—7 PM Etelän Lohtu Orchestra
Its history dates back to the late 80s, when the band’s music consisted mainly of Rhythm & Blues songs, both their own and borrowed songs. The line-up has changed over the years, and the current line-up consists of five people. The songs are mainly covers, without being forced to repeat the original versions one by one. Etelän Lohtu draws its playing from pop and soul covers, among others.
7.15 PM—7.50 PM Vilma Virtanen
Vilma Virtanen is a Finnish-Swedish singer-songwriter whose Swedish-language music draws influences from pop, folk and R’n’B, among others. Virtanen’s songs deal with difficult emotions, everyday insights and the bittersweetness of life.
Virtanen released her debut single Hjärtat i fickan in May 2025, which was noted, among others, by with an interview in Rumba magazine and a placement on Spotify’s Finnish indie playlist today. The single is a preview of the upcoming debut album, which will be released later.
