Location Ahola.land Festival The performance was created on the banks of the Vuoksa River during the summer solstice, June 2021.
The essence of summer is bubbling life. The solstice is its boiling point.
We walk barefoot and bare. The field gently preserves our traces. Our bodies remember every blade and leaf. Steps become paths—one after another, again and again.
We came to meet each other. Our bodies speak without words; they sing a hymn to summer. Our movements flow into one another, becoming a single, many-faced essence.
We form a circle, spin faster and faster, dance without restraint—until the world merges into a fierce, crystal-clear essence.
We are witches and graces. This is the ancient magic of the solstice— we carry in our hearts the very essence of life from this day. The present becomes the past, imprinted forever like a shutter click. The river, the field, the dance, the light, the summer—here, they will never cease.
