In this production exploring the connections between natural and cultural history, artist Axel Straschnoy heads to Savonranta to learn more about the devils of Paasselkä. The locals tell stories of the strange optical illusion above the lake, the earliest sightings of which date back to the 18th century. According to some, it’s the devil himself; others claim it to be Pajari, a character so evil that even the devil didn’t want him. The present-day sightings become a part of the meteorite lake’s folklore.
