Alternative Bomb Shelter: The good, the holy and the pure
The good, the bad, the holy and the pure tune their ears and rush to take over the bleakest basement in the galaxy. A dark posse sails across the sea, bearing good news. On the opposite shore, people raise their voices and join the fun. The cries of agony in life’s storms have been heard – a wreath of victory has been promised.

The graveyard will never hold us – Festival church
As the day comes to an end, the congregation trying to find a path for their footsteps of faith will surely find solid ground under their feet. One tiny person can join the great church and drink from the cup of immortality. He who allows our story to continue takes our side at the feast. Joining us in festival church: HANNU ANTTOORA | TIMO NISULA | AARNI ENSEMBLE
