Night of the Arts at Puistokatu 4: Of shadows and paper – magic for people of all ages
Event Introduction
Africa and the Kalevala, shadows and paper, music, nature and movement come together at the Space for Science and Hope on the Night of the Arts.
Puppeteers Marja Nykänen and Jean-Christophe Canivet will bring two unique performances to Puistokatu on the Night of the Arts: Afrikkalainen Iisoppi (African hyssop), a shadow theatre play, and the paper theatre performance Tammi (Oak), based on the Kalevala. The musical accompaniment for Afrikkalainen Iisoppi is a recording of cellist Iida-Vilhelmiina Sinivalo’s improvisation with a hyssop seedling.
After the performances, the artists will perform an improvised piece for electric violin, bamboo and oak. Members of the audience are invited to participate!
Marja Nykänen and Jean-Christophe Canivet have toured the world since 1997, performing puppetry at renowned festivals as well as in hospitals and schools.
