The first Ruusu Open Mic of the year is just around the corner! We warmly welcome you to come enjoy poetry and other forms of literary art to Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu on 28.1., at 17-20.

This time our incredible warm-up poets are Ajak Majok and Aika Huusko!

After the two performances the stage is yours: once again it’s time for open mic!

You can sign up for the open mic after the performances. You’re welcome to perform your text, song or other performance in any language you wish. It’s possible to connect your instrument or phone etc in the sound system, if that’s what your performance needs. Time limit for every open mic performance is 4 minutes, so everyone has a chance to perform.

This event is produced by Fanni Oksanen and Natalia Karjalainen. Event is hosted by Natalia Karjalainen and Fanni Oksanen. Poster is designed by Hanna-Katri Eskelinen.

We thank our long lasting partner Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu with joy!
