Iiro Rantala & Lotta Kuusisto: Vuosirenkaita - A Powerful Performance About Life

Pianist Iiro Rantala and actress Lotta Kuusisto present Vuosirenkaita, a performance about the arc of life - flexible stories about being human, belonging and not belonging. A longing for things not to be vague and changeable, and to be like a juniper: without a tendency to crack or warp.

The performance is built on music and text. Rantala plays at the grand piano while Kuusisto serves as narrator. The texts are written by Kari Hotakainen, Timo Parvela, Elo Viding, Pablo Neruda, Claes Andersson and Lotta Kuusisto. The music comes from Egberto Gismont, Unto Mononen, Thelonious Monk, Paul Desmond, Duke Ellington and Iiro Rantala.
