Vasa, The Cultural Town

These days I’m proud of my hometown Vasa. Why is that? Because right now our cultural life here is blooming: Great theatre plays, musicals and high-quality concerts can be found in Vasa. The ones I’d like to recommend are as follows:

Wasa Teater and their musical ‘The Full Monty’ (played in the Swedish language). You can watch a short video summary of the musical, which in Swedish is called
‘Allt eller inget’ (from Wasa Teater on Vimeo).

Another successful play by Wasa Teater (and Åbo Svenska Teater) is ‘Utrensning’, which is based on the book by Sofi Oksanen.

On Wednesday 6th October Blues Music was the big thing in Vasa. Wentus Blues Band from Kokkola, Finland held a concert with visiting guest, Duke Robillard. This video is not from Vasa, but from their performance a few days earlier. Great Blues Tunes, don’t you think?
