Krista Siegfrids and Mark Levengood: How Beautifully the Song Rings

Mark Levengood and Krista Siegfrids bring to the stage a performance exploring Finland-Swedish culture, traditions and identity through music, humour and personal experiences. The show brings together familiar phenomena and moods that are part of Finland-Swedish everyday life and celebrations.

“A Finland-Swedish party on stage (without mosquitoes, but with schnapps). Mark and Krista have left their homeland, but not their longing for home. When everyday life abroad feels a little too… continental, they dream of Runeberg tarts in February and a really bad sing-along on Midsummer night. So they decided: Let’s put on a show! A cavalcade of everything Finland-Swedish that we love (and can’t explain to our international friends). There will be Lucia crowns, crayfish parties, dialects, songs, laughter and perhaps a little tear in the eye – because we are, after all, Finland-Swedes. Welcome to an evening celebrating our roots, with extra dill and a dash of nostalgia. Formal dress optional. Laughter guaranteed.”

Duration approximately two hours, including an intermission. Cloakroom fee €2. Production: Eventland Oy
