A mythical journey through the celestial origin stories of the Fenno-Baltic tradition, told by Finnish-born storyteller Riikka Palonen and accompanied by folk musician Richard Clarke.

We were honoured to be selected as the opening performance for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025, and we had a completely full house that night in the Edinburgh Storytelling Center. Now you are able to see this set in Crail Community Hall!

Modern science tells us we were born from star dust – but how did the ancient people in the north know that? Who told them these first stories? What is the origin of iron? Who married the girl from the golden egg? How was the first oak cut down? Elemental stories like these are important as they remind us that we are still equally part of this planet, alongside bears, cranes and wolves.

The performance takes about 1 hour, no interval. Suitable for ages 12+.
