April may be cold, but poetry blooms in Ruusu Open Mic #55. Welcome to enjoy poetry and other spoken word art on April 28. at 17-20 Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu!

This time, the wonderful Johanna Jouten and Riitta O will perform as the evening’s warm-ups.

After our warm-ups, the stage is open for you when it’s the time of the open mic.

You can register for the open mic on the spot after the warm-up performances. You can present your text, song or other performance in the language of your choice. There is an option to connect a phone or player to the sound reproduction, now your presentation is as it should be! The length of the presentations is four minutes, so that those who wish have enough time to perform.

The event is produced by Fanni Oksanen and Natalia Karjalainen. The event will be hosted by Natalia Karjalainen and Fanni Oksanen. The poster and the video were made by Hanna-Katri Eskelinen.

We are happy to thank Restaurant Sörkän Ruusu as our partner!
