Fairytales for Grown-ups: How (not) to Die long ago in Finland

Performance storyteller Sarah Liisa Wilkinson shares tales from the roots of Finnish myth and folklore at The Story Museum.

Sarah Liisa Wilkinson performs stories drawn from Finnish myth and folklore, including the tale of an old man who journeys to the underworld to learn the secrets of the dead while trying to stay alive. The programme features a woman spinning her own iron hair, a shapeshifting sage, a giant fat with spells sleeping deep in the earth, and a coat of fire and gloves of pain — dangerous tools and hard lessons on how to live, let go and come back. The event is part of the Fairytales for Grown-ups series at The Story Museum.
