Legend of Harri Kala

Somewhere between the lost forests of Tapiola and the depths of the Baltic Sea, the mythical Harri Kala has awakened. This sea-dwelling grayling once thrived in these waters before becoming endangered to the point of nearly vanishing. Now Harri Kala reappears to share messages from its ancestors and to reflect with humans on the state of the waters, the world, and the future. A new adventure awaits, and the audience has an important role!

Legend of Harri Kala is Harold Hejazi’s latest work, a playable ritual combining improv theatre, AI, and multiplayer gameplay. The performance invites you to step into the Harriharri universe, where game characters come to life and the audience can influence the game world by using their voices.

This work is part of the award-winning Adventures of Harriharri video game performance series. Previous parts have been performed at the Ateneum and the Helsinki City Theatre and abroad in Austria, Germany, and Sweden. Legend of Harri Kala, set in a world that includes Tapiola, is the fourth part of the series.
