Mari Kalkun brings her haunting program ‘Stories of Stonia’ to the stage. Performing with the traditional Estonian instrument, the kannel, the musician explores our deep bond with the natural world. Using ancient Baltic ‘runo’ song traditions to imagine how her ancestors might view a modern world of steel and skyscrapers, her music is a delicate meditation on climate change and over-consumption. Mari’s crystalline vocals transport the audience to the deep forests of the Baltic. This show offers a quiet intensity and immense beauty, offering a moment of reflection amidst the festival energy.
