The Crick Crack Club presents
HOW (NOT) TO DIE - long ago in Finland
Performance storytelling by Sarah Liisa Wilkinson
By the edge of a deep forest and the shore of a biting sea, an old man sets his mind on a journey to the underworld - to learn the secrets of the dead. But – and this is where it gets tricky – he wants to stay alive.
Sarah Liisa Wilkinson brings you tales from the twisting roots of Finnish myth and folklore: a woman spinning her own iron hair; a shapeshifting sage; a giant, fat with spells, sleeping deep in the earth; a coat of fire, gloves of pain – dangerous tools and hard lessons on how to live, how to let go… and how to come back.
*‘Effervescent, funny and refreshing’ ★★★★ EVERYTHING THEATRE*
Content: This performance contains references to death, threat, and violence contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor.
Duration: 75mins (TBC)
