Juha Rouhikoski’s Swan Song takes the viewer to the mythological world of majestic swans, the underworld of Tuonela in Finnish folklore and the world of Kalevala. It’s based on The Swan of Tuonela composed by Jean Sibelius. In the work, viewers step to the edge of the Tuonela stream to look at a dancer along a beam of light that dissects the air above them.
