A cow stands in a fire holding sun and moon between her horns.
A pine martin gathers spit from the mouth of a bear to brew beer.
An egg falls from a nest just balanced on the sky-girl’s knee.
And from its broken shards, nothing becomes something…

Storyteller, musician and singer, Nick Hennessey forges a world into being. Here in the Finnish far north the light is a just little too bright and the dark a little too blinding, the rivers flow fast and deep and it’s all too easy to get lost in the forest.

Expect a remarkable performance of elemental epic, as we enter the wild, playful, and surreal territories of the Finnish creation myth, the Kalevala.
