HOW (NOT) TO DIE LONG AGO IN FINLAND

Sarah Liisa Wilkinson
7 NOV 2026, 7.30PM

By the edge of a deep forest and the shore of a biting sea, an old man sets his mind on a journey to the underworld - to learn the secrets of the dead. But – and this is where it gets tricky – he wants to stay alive.

Sarah Liisa Wilkinson brings you tales from the twisting roots of Finnish myth and folklore: a woman spinning her own iron hair; a shapeshifting sage; a giant, fat with spells, sleeping deep in the earth; a coat of fire, gloves of pain – dangerous tools and hard lessons on how to live, how to let go… and how to come back.
