Etteepäi elävän mieli

What will we witness when 94-year-old Sirkka’s memories are revived through reading her old poems, giving us a peek through history? 

On stage, the story of a young girl during wartime on the Karelian isthmus in 1939–1944. Sirkka’s life turns upside down when her family is ordered to evacuate and she ends up doing hard work at a factory. Sirkka returns to Karelia during the Continuation War, find love and hope for the future, which are then unfortunately prevented by the war. 

The story follows Sirkka as she grows into a woman and faces the challenges of war. Sirkka’s story is enough to make modern viewers emotional.

Admission is free. In Finnish.
