KY In English
Something to eat?
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! - Burn that mama down
How’s that got to do with anything? Yeah, I dunno either. What I do know is that this week is one big party. You have singing, dancing, dining, movies, great theater, and all kinds of crazyness all put together into one happy week. What more could you ask for? Yup, The Anniversary Week is right here, right now and you better get on board the massive ship taking us towards Bermuda’s Triangle of Fabulous Fun. (I dunno where I get these metaphors from).
Also if you’re interested in travel, scroll to the bottom, cause it seems like International Weeks are flying all over the place. But deadline’s are very soon so hurry up and apply for your favorite spots!
The whole program of the Anniversary week is available at http://vuosijuhla.kyweb.org/ohjelma/ but it’s in Finnish. Ive tried to put together the following in chronological order so read on.
Pimp My Haalari on 18.2.
This is your chance to make your overalls totally *bling*. Get yourself to the KY Big Side from 17.00 on and pimp your overalls by sewing those badges you’ve thrown to the bottom of your drawers. KY is providing the string, needles, band-aid and good company needed.
“Atonement” presented by Tikelo Monday 18.2.
In honour of the fabulous Anniversary Week, Tikelo is screening “Atonement”, which is definitely worth your time! If you haven’t seen this already, why not check it out and see if it’s really worth the 7 Oscars it is nominated for. http://events.kyweb.org/2008/02/18/uh/ and http://tikelo.kyweb.org/2008/02/16/sovitus-atonement-orion-eerikinkatu-15/ Check out the details!
Speksi! Speksi! Speksi! 18.2., 19.2., 20.2. and so on
Speksi had one helluva premier on 16.2.! There are numerous acts to come watch, you’ll be getting your money’s worth, guaranteed! There are acts on 18.2., 19.2., and 20.2. this week in addition to ones next week.What is Speksi you might ask. Well, it’s a fabulous, spectacular musical-play put on by KY-members with dancing, singing, music by a live band, acting, and humour! There are over 70 people on the team putting a lot of effort into it and it’s definitely worth watching even if you didn’t speak Finnish so check out www.kyspeksi.fi and buy your tickets there. This year’s Speksi is named “Tampere 10″ and it deals with the media of today and its clashes with the good old values of the past. Ticket sales at the main lobby of HSE pretty much every day on 12 and 14 breaks.
The Spring Singing Night on 19.2.
Here it comes again, the night of singing. It is part of the Anniversary Celebration Week and you should not miss it (although most of the songs are in Finnish).
