Ruusu Open Mic #64
We warmly welcome you to come enjoy poetry and other forms of literary art to Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu on 25.5. at 17-20. As usual, the evening starts with a brilliant guest performance followed by the main act itself: you and your slot in the open mic.
The evening will be warmed up by our performer Stina Saari!
You can sign up for the open mic after the performance during the first break. 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 and you have your copyright sorted (/free). Time limit for every open mic performance is 4 minutes, so everyone has a chance to perform. Please, make sure you don’t exceed this time limit out of respect towards your fellow poets.
At the end of the evening, glorious flowers from flower shop Lutukka as well as some drink vouchers from Sörkan Ruusu will be drawn at random among all the open mixers that performed that night. So, it’s worth staying till the end to see if you´re one of the lucky ones!
The event is produced and hosted by Sonja Kaisanlahti. The event’s graphic design is created by Vinski Valos.
We thank our long lasting partner Restaurant Sörkan Ruusu and city of Helsinki!
