KATOAVA collective's new production Lehtolaulu will be performed at Vapaan Taiteen Tila on June 11th & 12th at 7 PM!

Did you know that “hiisi” originally referred to sacred groves used by Finnic peoples for rituals and burials of loved ones?

Lehtolaulu takes you to the hiisi – we explore groves, the journey there, and our own relationship with the mythologies of forests. This multidisciplinary piece invites you to feel, reflect, and associate freely.
