This is a one-man-show and above all, a story. It is the story of a little boy who, at ten years of age, was introduced to the eccentric, beautiful world of theatre and writing, and through that, to the world as he would know it.
It is a love-letter of sorts and (hopefully) an inspiring tale of small victories and grandiose defeats, with just a flicker of light somewhere deep down, that keeps the mind of a dreamer going.
So I'd say, that this evening is for the dreamer. For the strange ones with a flicker of light in their hearts and the glimmer of a true fool in their eyes.
I wholeheartedly welcome each and every one of you to this evening, and let us celebrate our dreams together through poetry, through remembrance and joy, as only our gorgeous tribe of the weird and the wonderful can!
Respectfully yours,
Mikael Kivimäki

Driving twoards the rain has now ended
Dance, music and poetry meet each other in this physical, English/Finnish bilingual exploration of Adrian Goldman’s writing.
Driving towards the rain/Ajaen kohti sadetta is a unique bilingual poetic/movement/music physical encounter that breathes through Adrian Goldman’s writing of the last 22 years. The work evokes the mundane, insignificant, frail moments that nevertheless make us who we are. Who is it that we encounter in going back to those moments; a (past?) version of our self, or a fellow traveller? The movement of two dancers and the sound of the clarinet interact with the poetry. Space is given for sound and movement to emerge in the moment. Parts of the poems are rendered in Finnish, inviting the viewer to feel how lived moments resonate in two languages.
"With this world, this lawn, this us, this very breath
Frailed as a quillet of philosophy
Improbable as a dream
As the breath you might have taken –"
Concept / Adrian Goldman & Marjukka Savolainen
Dance / Adrian Goldman & Katariina Harjunpää
Texts / Adrian Goldman
Music / John Millar
