Produced by Jari Koivisto
"Kalevala" by Anonymous is a foundational epic poem consisting of Finnish folklore, compiled in the early 19th century. The work centers around the adventures of various mythological characters, primarily Wäinämöinen, Ilmarinen, and Lemminkäinen, as they navigate the realms of magic and heroism in the land of Kalevala and the hostile lands of Pohjola. It reflects the cultural and mythical heritage of Finland, highlighting themes of creation, conflict, and the importance of tradition. At the start of "Kalevala," we learn about the legendary character Wäinämöinen, who was born after an extended gestation period in his mother's womb. As a hero, he possesses great wisdom and talents, including the ability to create and shape the world around him. The opening introduces his longing to experience the light of the sun and moon, showcasing his active role in shaping the landscape and establishing his connection to the otherworldly elements. Amidst his adventures, he faces the antagonism of a Laplander and endeavors to fulfill tasks that lead him on a journey filled with challenge and creativity, hinting at the breadth of tales that follow in this epic tapestry of stories.
