⚓️❤️ DÉSIRÉE SAARELA IN CONCERT | ANNANLAND ❤️⚓️ // 23.5.2025 // ArTik ZeitRaum // Admission: 7 pm, start: 8 pm // Admission: €12 plus fees. fees, box office: 14€ // "I saw the sky of van Gogh and started hearing music" - Désirée Saarela // The latest concept album by Finnish-Swedish singer-songwriter and folk singer Désirée Saarela feels like something new and different, even for herself. Although this is her ninth album, she has never created music with visual artists and their thoughts as a starting point - and she has never described herself as an artist. "It started with Vincent van Gogh. I've always been fond of his paintings. I started hearing music in them, especially in the way he paints the sky and the fields. Then the incredibly versatile Tove Jansson entered - visual artist and author to the famous Moomin books." // Creating your own Annanland // "We are living in hard times right now. But in some way we should still be able to create our own Annanland, our Otherland. How can I try to grow, do I have dreams I'd wish to achieve? Yearning for something that takes us further, that is what Annanland means to me." // Annanland also takes on a new visual form in an exciting collaboration with Swedish image and canvas artist Malin Skinnar, who has created animated backdrops for Saarela's live performances of all the songs on the album. // "You try to find your own way and look for new things; you also have to go back and get a hold of the person you've always been."
