A grandmother revisits her childhood and tells us about the time when she was gifted with magical powers that would change her life forever. Through dance, music, songs, spells, and interactive projections, she shares stories of the Swan of Tuonela, the Elk of the Forest, and the Finnish Pike – three magical beings who rewarded young Louhi’s courage with powers that would ultimately help her rise to become the leader of the people of Pohjola. 

Louhi is a dance performance about friendship, strength, and survival –the story of a little girl who did not bow to fate but shaped it herself. Inspired by characters from the epic Kalevala and pulsing with mythic energy, the performance brings ancient traditions to life and makes them resonate for today’s audience.
