Other Writing

Radio play Lot’s Wife (produced by Yle Radioteatteri)

Opera libretto Endless Käpylä 2023  Libretto by Miira Sippola, music by Mikko Helenius.

Loputon Käpylä

“Miira Sippola’s text is enigmatic and poetic. Behind the everyday events of Käpylä, a Chorus sings, representing eternity. There is no beginning or end; all differences and contradictions ultimately dissolve into one within eternity.”

” Sirkku Nyström, Kotimaa 23.1.2023, in opera Endless Käpylä
