Liekki (Flame) is a monologue of Leonard Cohen’s poems. The performance tells the story of a failed monk and poet who goes through his life and his mistakes.

He talks about his relationship with success, love, religion and death. When wrestling with your own ego, the best weapon is self-irony. The themes of love and longing familiar from Cohen’s lyrics are tinged with black humour.
