Lemminkäisen Temppeli

The Temple Of Lemminkäinen

The Flamma fire theater piece is the story of Lemminkäinen, who will have to work in Tuonela through the chores set by Louhi in order to marry her daughter. The Temple of Lemminkäinen is the second installment in Flamma's Kalevala-trilogy. 

The first episode, Tulta iski ilman Ukko, ends in a great battle between Kalevala and Pohjola. Sampo has been left in Pohjola, and in time it becomes the stuff of legends. In Kalevala, Lemminkäinen decides to find the lost Sampo and travels to Pohjola to seek the treasure. On his travels, he meets a beautiful girl he falls in love with. The girl turns out to be the daughter of Louhi, the mistress of Pohjola. In Pohjola Lemminkäinen also finds  the Sampo, but it is useless without a set of keys from Tuonela. Therefore, Louhi sets a condition to Lemminkäinen to marry her daughter: he must travel to netherworld to search the keys. But will he make it? 

Starring Niko Virtanen (Lemminkäinen), Katra Solopuro (Maiden of Pohjola) and Samuli Kivinummi (Louhi). 

Last year the 30 performers of Flamma dived deep into the ancient Finnish mythology. This year the saga continues, and the adventure is spiced up with tricksters, dancers from PIRAMK and young artists from Sorin Sirkus.
