Mari Kalkun’s bittersweet atmospheric music composed for a theater performance “Petserimaa igatsus” / “Longing for Pechory”. The songs and instrumental pieces are fragile and lyrical, yet brave, strongly linked with local spirit and language. “There is nostalgia for childhood, there’s losing and finding love, hope and finally – finding peace,” Kalkun describes. Forced separation, closing down the borders that break lives of many people, is an aching topic not only in this part of the world.
