HPC Goes Puisto

  • 01. 08. 2024

Helsinki Poetry Connection Goes Puisto! summer tour continues on Saturday 10th of August at Alppipuisto Amphitheatre at 6pm!

There’s a bucketload of slam and performance poetry goodies to be expected from the evening, which will shake your poetic soul to its very core. To warm things up, there are warm up performances from the Finnish Slam Poetry OG Harri Hertell and the 2023 Finnish Poetry Slam winner Diliana Stoyanova.

When the stage is properly warmed up, it’s time for the main act of the night, namely YOU. Everyone with a bit of courage and a bunch of material can get up on stage to blow your poetic socks off! Everything thing, that you dare to call poetry is allowed (minus racist bullshit etc.). Just keep your pants on and limit your act to 4 minutes, so that we have time to for every single soul to perform.

So, pack your picnic packs with your favorite snacks and drinks and friends, and sharpen your favorite pens. Be welcomed, be awesome one and all!

The night’s producers are Jussi Kiova and Timo Nikkilä.

Raincheck!

Address: Alppipuisto, Viipurinkatu 00520 Helsinki

Open Mic-summerclub – HPC Goes Puisto

  • 13. 06. 2023

Helsinki Poetry Connections Open Mic-summerclub HPC Goes Puisto! is coming again from it’s winter break. In Lapinlahden lähde 17.6. from 4.00 PM to 7.00 PM we are about to see poetrys ever flourishing creativity in it’s poly furry glory. Concept is that we sit in a park in good company and warmly sunny atmosphere, listening to poetry, getting inspired by it. 

 

Afternoon starts with two warm-up performers, witch after the main performers, being you, get the stage for use, to interpret your self written poems. As poetry is recognised all the performances that the performer him-/her-/themself, in way or another, dares to call poetry, as long as you keep your trousers on and performances time under four minutes. 🙂

 

As the warm-up performers we have Pulina Elli and Juho Nieminen. 

 

Pulina Elli is a big blond from the city, oddbird of her own life. She performs her poems dealing with woman’s lifespan tongue-in-cheek also when the motives are serious. This writer, who has made her master’s thesis of stage poetry is not ashamed of anything and fears nobody. Not any more. 

In his poems N. likes to settle to roles and observe word from familiar, but often from the overlooked point of view. As the source of the thoughts, he uses among other things “Kevätpörriäinen”-magazines of the school kids. 

 

HPCGP is hosted by Katja Korhonen, also known from Open Mic, together with Jussi Kiova, also known from Tenho Poetry Slams. You are warmly welcome!
