The Nordic Ljus 2014 arts festival ended with a spectacular outdoor closing performance in Joensuu, Finland.
The festival was designed so that young Nordic artists in dance, visual art, theatre, circus and music could travel between countries, take part in three workshops with local artists and gather material for the final performance. Artists from five countries led the groups and created the performance together – María Ellingsen, Raisa Foster, Andreas Ljones, Arna Valsdóttir and Karoliina Korhonen – while the lighting designer Kari Kola created a magical setting.
The performance opened as a piece of the Greenland ice sheet, brought from there by the music group, was rowed into the bay to live music and lowered into the water.
