Idän Hehku is a lyrical journey towards the core of Eastern Finnish identity by musician Janne Vänskä, stage artist Henry Räsänen, and performance technician Antti Laasonen.

The performance follows the adventure of an Eastern man in the borderlands of Savo and Karelia. During his journey, he seeks himself and connection to another person through landscape, language, and mythology.

In the hour-long stage production, poetry and soundscapes combine with visual elements and movement language in a multi-sensory way. Changing emotional states, places, and landscapes entwine the viewer in a play of contrasts, aiming for glimpses of the Eastern soul-landscape.

The text material for the work originates from the pens of Eastern Finnish writers. It includes texts by Heikki Turunen, Eino Kettunen, Martti Issakainen, Ari Jäntti, Lauri Jauhiainen, Hannu Pirinen, and Mikko Lauronen. The performance also features music with lyrics by Henry Räsänen and composed by Janne Vänskä.
