20:00 MÁRAS, Korundi Hall

International Performance Art Music Ensemble MÁRAS (SÀPMI/NO, FI, USA/LV/EE) creates intuitive, poetic and psychedelic landscapes, through deep hypnotic and resonant music and mysterious installations imbued with rich folklore. MÀRAS as of today are Marita Isobel Solberg, Risto Puurunen and Steve Vanoni.

21:00 DjHulluella, Korundi Kitchen & Cafe

Known for her high-energy performances, Sámi techno Barbie DJ Hulluella blends stardust-infused electronic music with genre-defying basslines. Her soundscape honors music on a planetary scale, guiding fellow travelers on a cosmic sonic journey through galaxies of dance, joy, and revelry. 

Free entrance. Welcome!

The event is organised in cooperation with the Finnish-Norwegian Cultural Institute (FINNO), the Finnish-Norwegian Cultural Foundation and the Finnish-Swedish Cultural Foundation.
