Aniara: Fragments of Time and Space

A musical work based on Harry Martinson's classic space epic about humanity at a crossroads

In collaboration with The Crossing, one of America's foremost chamber choirs and a three-time Grammy winner, Klockriketeatern returns with the musical performance in Temppeliaukio Church.

Aniara is based on Nobel Prize winner Harry Martinson's cosmic story. The interdisciplinary concert version takes us on a space adventure, examining humanity at a crossroads, fleeing from a planet we ourselves have destroyed. Despite its dystopian tones, Aniara is a stunningly beautiful, exceptionally high quality musical performance.

The libretto is written by the director of Klockriketeatern, Dan Henriksson, and the American composer Robert Maggio has composed the work.

Aniara: fragments of time and space is Klockriketeatern's largest production of all time. The musical performance had its world premiere in Philadelphia in June 2019 and was then acclaimed by critics and the audience. In July 2019, Aniara was performed at the international choir festival Koorbiennale in the Netherlands, and in September of the same year it was performed 6 times to sold-out audiences at the Finnish National Opera.
