How it runs

  1. ConceptYour story turned into a route with chapters.
  2. BuildLight and sound placed in the forest, nothing fixed to trees.
  3. EveningsGuests walk the path in small groups.
  4. The endA fire at the end of the path.

What to know

  • Leave no trace: everything is temporary and removed afterwards.
  • It needs the landowner's permission and a safe, walkable path.
  • It works best at summer dusk or in autumn darkness.

Good for

Launches, anniversaries, culture projects.

Not for

Rushed timelines. It takes time to build well.

Questions planners ask

Can it be reused?

Yes. The installation can run for several evenings, for different audiences.

What if it rains?

Light and sound gear is weatherproofed. Light rain often makes it better.

Does it need to be in Finland?

No. Any forest with a path and a willing landowner.

Thinking of doing this?

Borrow the idea, it's yours. If you'd like a hand, or just a second opinion on whether it suits your group, write to me. I produce ideas like this one at Sorry, No Polar Bears, a Helsinki studio I co-run.
