Now culture.

The play is directed by Lauri Maijala and features 24 actors.

Here Under the Northern Star tells the story of many important moments in Finnish history.

Director Lauri Maijala:

-This shows what a society is like that doesn’t care about its smallest. At some point, bitterness turns to hatred, and hatred turns to violence.

The play Here Under the North Star is being performed at the National Theatre in Helsinki. The premiere of the play is today, Wednesday.

Weather

Still a weather forecast.

The weather is breezy. The sun is shining in most parts of the country. Only in Northern Lapland can there be a little rain. The weather is gradually warming up throughout the country.
