Project description:
Sound design for a local play about local people, the second part of a trilogy Luodetuulen maa (The land of northwest winds), an epic Rauma archipelago saga of Havström family by author Tapio Koivukari. The play is performed in strong local dialect not easily understood by people from outside the Rauma region.
The play is set in a mental institution boiler room where Enok Havström, a former steamer fireman, is taking care of the hospital heating. Enok has been locked away because of a manslaughter. He now sees and hears the past through the burning heat of the boiler and the world around as movement of the planets. Sound builds the obscure mind of a lonely and lost Enok trying to understand the life and the relationship that drove him to desperation and melancholy and the world getting into yet another war.
Soundscape is a flow of sounds of the boiler room morphing into archipelago seascapes, anguish and spaces is mixed with music by Perttu Suominen, performing live on stage.
