Jatkot, sitkut, mutkut: After the concert, there will be an opportunity to participate in a leisurely moment, traveling from one (state of mind) to another! Da and Toivo will entertain and guide participants on a journey through the German Church’s tunnel, including small-scale experiences that will tickle the senses. At the end of the tunnel journey, the festival will offer participants complimentary punch and an opportunity to exchange thoughts with the artists as well as with new and old acquaintances. For those with mobility restrictions, the route will go outside.
