The Awakening Performance Avväxten

Avväxten is based on poet David Väyrynen's forthcoming poetry collection of the same name - a single long sermon delivered at the meeting that concluded the rural community Storberget/Isovaara/Stuorváris' jubilee week. The speech is meant to strengthen and sustain through times of doubt or poor harvest, and carries the community's message: if the earth is to continue bearing humanity, then humanity must begin placing far less weight on its shoulders.

The Awakening Performance is an attempt to reconstruct that meeting. For the jubilee celebration, members from similar associations have been invited - those who sympathize with the idea of always choosing the earth's wellbeing before humanity's.
