The Song Hunters

The Song Hunters

– a musical adventure to the roots of Finnish song

The Song Hunters is a fast-paced and humorous musical theater production that delves into the roots of the Finnish song tradition.

The story begins when Asiasta-Tietämätön meets two somewhat eccentric guides—Laulunhistoriat. These good-natured and slightly bumbling characters lead him on a journey through the ages: from archival recordings to sleigh songs and from runo singing to the present day.

Along the way, it becomes clear how the songs of the past still live on in today’s music—in schlager, rock, pop, and rap. The performance combines live music, storytelling, and playful theatricality in a way that captivates young audiences.

On stage, you’ll also meet colorful characters ranging from market vendors to Elias Lönnrot, and knowledge accumulates almost unnoticed, in a fun and collaborative way.
