About the inscenation
In the fleeting moments between wakefulness and reaching the door of the dream world lies the liminal land from whence comes the beautiful moody music of ancient stories told by the three creative souls known as AURI.
AURI is a Finnish-British musical group founded by the well-known composer and musician Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish). In addition to him, the line-up includes his wife, singer Johanna Kurkela and multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley (Nightwish). Holopainen named the band after the main female character in the book “The Kingkiller Chronicle” by author Patrick Rothfuss. This trio creates entirely new fantasy worlds where the endless imagination of Tuomas’ keys, Troy’s entire arsenal of flutes and other folk instruments resound, and where you can feel the magical touch of Johanna’s youthful and tender voice. AURI’s dreamy music will capture you from the first note and won’t let go!
Come and stay with them at least for a while in the land of dreams, where all ordinary things and events turn into miracles. Accept the invitation to embark on an untrodden journey full of adventures and be captivated by the uplifting music and the soft, gentle voice that empowers those who feel inadequate and calms those who fear death. AURI will captivate you with its mystical, ethereal musical narrative. They can open and melt even the most stubborn and hardened heart! It’s time to say “Come on love – it’s finally time to let go”.
