A folk opera based on actual events during the Turku witch hunts.
Turku in the 1660s, the age of witch-hunts. How on earth is graduate student Henricus Eolenius able to learn Arabic so quickly? It must be magic – the Devil must be helping him.
Henrik and the Hammer of Witches is a folk opera about black magic, religious songs and fundamentalism. The grand folk opera will gather over 100 performers and participants in the historical Turku Castle courtyard.
