E-text prepared by Jari Koivisto "Kalevala näyttämöllä: I sarja" by Eino Leino is a theatrical adaptation of the Finnish national epic "Kalevala" written in the early 20th century. This work aims to bring the rich characters and stories of the epic to the stage, merging poetry with drama to express the underlying Finnish cultural narratives. The adaptation focuses on traditional themes, including the creation of the world and the heroic figures of Finnish folklore like Väinämöinen and Aino. The beginning of the adaptation introduces the setting and context for the performance, which features a mixture of narration, dialogue, and lyricism. The characters of the opening scenes, including the Elder Narrator and the Runolaulajat (runosingers), invite the audience into a mythical world. They discuss the significance of the epic's characters and their stories, signaling a transition from the narrative tradition into a theatrical expression. The text evokes a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the ancient themes and personages as they prepare to unfold their tales on stage, establishing the tone for the adaptation ahead.
