#ELLE FINLAND

[cancmbyn]

Wow, I am still reeling from seeing this event. One of the most profound dance-music-theatre experiences I have ever had.

If Elle Sofa Sara comes to a town near you, you should RUN to see and hear them.

From the Show notes:

“Elle Sofe is the voice of the Sami people, expressing their efforts to battle injustice and to retain and celebrate their culture, mirroring the experience of many of the world's indigenous peoples, including here in Canada.  We join the procession of the seven women in the show, marching in unity as they invite us into an evening of polyphonic Yoiking and powerful movement.”

The clips on Youtube do not do this Sami choreographer and the troop justice. Nonetheless, I will post to get the word out there.

Different (better) costumes inside and out than shown in the clips below. The performance started outside in -15 degree weather, before following them inside to the theatre and it ended with the seven dancers leaving the theatre.

I want to run away and join them!

[ENG translation] An interview with Joker Out at Sziget

An exclusive conversation with Joker Out from Budapest, where they marked one of the biggest milestones of their career so far!

Article written by Ajda Gregorc, published on the 9th of August 2024 on the ELLE Slovenia website. Translation by @kurooscoffee, @chaosofsmarty and a member of JokerOutSubs, English proofreading by IG GBoleyn123.

It's no secret that ELLE has been cheering for our most successful band of all time from the front row. Not only are Joker Out the recipients of the first Elle Style Award in the Music category, we always love to catch up with them and chat about their upcoming projects. It's especially nice to see them on foreign ground. We met up with the guys in the Hungarian capital just before one of their bigger performances as part of their summer festival tour – they took over the main stage of the legendary Sziget festival! Judging by the aforementioned (and in this case, also literal) front row, we can definitely say they conquered it.

With it, they have symbolically reached one of the major, clearly defined goals they set at the beginning of their journey. At that time, they stated, "You know you've made it when you perform on the main stage of this legendary European festival." The energy of the gathered crowd at this performance definitely confirmed it, but more on that later.

When asked whether this goal still seems as formidable after they have already reached so many of their set peaks (just this year they successfully completed a European tour, sold out a vinyl edition from the sold-out Arena Stožice in less than half a day, signed a contract with the Wasserman Agency shortly before that, and received a gold record in Finland for their single Carpe Diem, which was also the most-played domestic song last year), the band's frontman, Bojan Cvjetićanin, honestly responds that it doesn't really seem that way anymore.

Festival experiences, with all their systems and mechanisms, are similar to each other regardless of whether it's a slightly larger or smaller stage, and the guys already know what to expect. "You do lose a bit of that, but here today, for example, the organisational aspect is at the highest level." Guitarist Kris Guštin also confirms a slight loss of the mystique, while the band's other guitarist, Jan Peteh, offers a fitting metaphor in his characteristic style. "I see it as going up a hill on a road that has a bit of an incline, and you know you're going up, but the steps to the top are more gradual."

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

Bojan agrees. He feels that it's a point where you're still far from the peak, but already have a beautiful view ahead that you're following, although the full view only unfolds at the end. Sziget is definitely one of the highlights of their festival season when it comes to personal satisfaction, but for the crowning moment of this festival season, Kris would choose the main stage at Exit festival, while Bojan also highlighted the Finnish Ruisrock festival.

Their tour across European festivals is therefore a connecting point between the band and their existing fans, as well as potential new audiences. At festivals where they weren't the most well-visited performers, the guys noticed that many of the attendees were new. "You can see it mainly in the faces and reactions," Bojan explains. They're very pleased that the response has always been positive so far and that by the end of their concert, there were more people present than at the beginning.

When a concert is not organised by them, it takes away a good amount of pressure. Over the past year, they carried out a lot of them on their own, especially abroad, which was slightly scary for them, even though everything went smoothly. Fortunately, festivals are primarily defined by the summer, which is accompanied by a good mood and visitors in high spirits, and that creates a good atmosphere. "There are a lot of performers in one place, a lot of a certain type of energy gets accumulated, and everyone comes to have a good time," adds Cvjetićanin.

Jan adds that the weather has cleared up during our chat (before that, the festival area was hit by light showers) and it's true, for their performance at 17:30, the sky actually cleared up so much that people were retreating to the shady side of the stage while dancing to their hits.

International festivals, therefore, no longer fall entirely under the "new" category for the Jokers. They've come to feel at home at a number of stages already, so they know how to handle things, both from a technical standpoint and in terms of what to expect from the atmosphere. Finland, with its warm reaction, provided a huge surprise in that regard, and therefore they count their performance there as one of those magical moments that tip the scales into the aforementioned category and go into the "forever" archive.

The third album is around the corner

After constantly working on the third album in London, which will be released in the autumn, the likeable musicians needed a bit of a break from it. That has already ended, however, as they've been in the studio almost every day, which also proves that they're excellent at juggling several obligations at the same time. Considering that the first singles, 'Everybody's Waiting' and 'Šta bih ja', are highly contrasting, I ask them whether this album will offer the most contradictions so far as part of the "intense blend of emotions which reflects the quick turnaround of their lives". That is how they described it recently.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

In Bojan's opinion, this is by far their most contrasting album. "Especially the most recent products, which we still have to finish, will be like that." Kris adds that the arrangements might be more contrasting than the sound itself.

"It's still us playing and singing," Bojan laughs. "Exactly, per partes¹, some parts are compatible, and then you have one total 'tourist', and then another one." Jan stops the debate with a powerful statement that there will be more variations on this album than most performers have in their entire careers. Let's wait and be surprised.

¹ 'per partes' is a Latin expression that means "by parts"; it is used in mathematics for the process of integration by parts

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

It's not only their vision that goes into creating the new album, they also let their fans in on it. For 'Šta bih ja', it was actually the audience's passionate reaction that showed them that it would be their next single.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

It is a simple communication style, but one that the band reads well and then translates into its products. By doing so, they typically follow the flow organically, not going against it (true fans will understand this extremely corny joke), always driven by a well-thought-out strategy. Sometimes even at the initiative of Kiki the roadie, who unintentionally hung the lyrics of a new single facing the audience instead of the band, which turned it into a viral hit. "He's a marketing genius," the boys laugh, and tell ELLE that he's definitely receiving special treatment now.

Less than an hour later ...

Shortly after our conversation, we join the large crowd right in front of the famous Hungarian stage and, as the show unfolds, marvel at the visual production, specially upgraded for the festival season under the baton of Studio 7, with whom the Jokers have formed an unstoppable partnership since their beginnings.

Source: Vita Orehek Photography

The waving Slovenian flags beautifully complement the lace on the band members' clothing, their trademark and a tribute to the culture of their homeland, signed by Karlo Kirri (the Jokers have been collaborating with him regularly for the past year).

Unfortunately, the boys couldn't exchange the "performer" wristband for the "visitor who is just having fun" one, as a concert in Romania already awaits them this Sunday. Jan tested the field the night before, while the rest of them are still waiting for that experience somewhere in the future. Now with a very special aftertaste.

P.S. The news of the upcoming album was followed by the promise that Slovenians will be among the first to hear it live. In the lively backstage area, where the famous singer Halsey was casually strolling just an hour later, I'm told that this will be very soon after the album's release and that "they're going to go for a slightly smaller thing than they could have gone for," adding that it will be nostalgic for them.

What better way to end the conversation, and thus the article, than at this point?

Guys, thank you, and good luck!

Une femelle Buse mellifère européenne a été équipée d'un système de suivi par satellite en Finlande récemment. Elle a quitté Reitz dans l'Etat libre d'Afrique du Sud pour commencer à se diriger vers le nord le 20 avril et le 2 juin, elle arriva enfin en Finlande où elle passera probablement l'été boréal avant probablement de revenir encore la saison prochaine pour une visite dans le Sud de l'Afrique. Voici une image montrant les données reçues du tracker sur l'itinéraire qu'elle a emprunté pour se diriger vers le nord, en 42 jours, elle a parcouru plus de 10 000 km, soit une moyenne de plus de 230 km chaque jour ! N'est-ce pas tout simplement incroyable... ?!" Ce qui est étonnant, c'est la façon dont elle a suivi une ligne droite vers le nord, sauf lorsqu'elle devait survoler l'eau (ou Soudan) apparemment, elle a tourné à droite à la source du Nil et l'a suivi. Il est toujours fascinant qu'après cette déviation, elle soit revenue à la même ligne longitudinale par laquelle elle avait commencé et qu'elle ait continué jusqu'à atteindre sa destination.

La violence contre les élus

60% des élus au niveau mondial ont été victimes de violences ou de harcèlement et dans de nombreux cas, cela a mené à la fin de leur carrière. Cela ne date pas d'hier. Ces élus sont presque tous des élus progressistes, qui par leur action on challengé la société traditionaliste. Une femme jeune qui dirige, un homme blanc qui veut donner des droits aux Noirs, le contenu de ce qui est enseigné à l'école, etc. Ces élus sont victimes de traditionalistes qui se sentent profondément menacés par les actions de ces leaders. Ils quittent leurs fonctions, ce qui est anti-démocratique. Plus de 600 emails de policiers ont été retrouvés dans les archives du FBI quand Obama était président d'officiers qui disaient ne pas vouloir obéir à un Noir. Obama a reculé pour les droits à l'avortement car il avait peur. Certains n'osent plus critiquer les thèmes de l'extrême-droite ou n'osent plus se présenter aux élections de peur de ces violences. Par exemple, en Finlande, après le harcèlement de Sanna Marin, les principaux leaders de la gauche n'ont pas osé se présenter.

Face aux progressistes, il y a une longue histoire de traditionalistes qui recourent à la violence. Que peut-on faire pour améliorer les choses? Pourquoi la police ne les protège pas plus? Pourquoi ce ne sont que des progressistes qui se font agresser? John Fitzgerald Kennedy s'est fait tuer à Dallas, état Républicain.

Dans les polices du monde entier, il y a un phénomène de corps. L'organisation perpétue des croyances et des traditions. Le corps policier décide de qui il protège et de qui il ne protège pas.

Dans l'empire romain, la garde prétorienne assurait la protection de l'Empereur. C'est eux qui décidaient qui était l'empereur. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Qui garde les gardiens?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%3F

La police en fait le minimum quand elle protège un progressiste. La police a tardé avant de répondre à l'appel au secours du mari de Nancy Pelosi. Il s'est passé 4h avant que les policiers arrivent lors de l'attaque du Capitole du 6 janvier 2021. Il n'y a eu aucune preuve qu'un dirigeant avait donné un ordre pour ne pas intervenir. Il n'y a pas de garde nationale à Washington. Le corps policier décide ou non de protéger les élus. Cette violence s'applique contre les gens qui veulent changer la société: les élus, contre les LGBT+, contre les professeurs, contre les journalistes. La police traîne les pieds et ne les protège pas.

A quoi sert la police? - Les Idées Larges - Arte: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/117234-001-A/a-quoi-sert-la-police/

Si on veut que la police soit en accord avec la diversité des idées de la société, il faut que le maintien de l'ordre soit effectué sur le modèle des gardes nationales américaines. Il faut donner du temps pour que les gens soient formés au maniement des armes et au maintien de l'ordre. Les policiers de carrière des gardiens de la paix sont sélectionnés, ils sont embrigadés par les anciens, ils peuvent être achetés. Les gardiens de la paix devraient être les citoyens du moment qu'ils sont en capacité physique de le faire. Cela formerait les citoyens à désescalader les conflits, à protéger leurs voisins, etc. Nous avons tous droit à la protection.

La police judiciaire demande des professionnels car c'est très technique, mais pas les gardiens de la paix.

Ce sont les policiers qui sont les faiseurs de roi. Ils devraient protéger la démocratie.

La liste des personnes politiques qui n'ont pas pu mener leur programme à bien à cause de violences est longue:

Matthias Ecke (candidat SPD aux élections Européennes)

Pedro Sanchez (premier ministre espagnol)

Léo Varadkar (premier ministre irlandais)

Yannick Morez (maire de Saint-Brévin-les-pins)

Jacinda Ardern (premier ministre de Nouvelle-Zélande)

Sanna Marin (premier ministre de Finlande)

Nancy Pelosi (président de la chambre des représentants des USA)

Robert Kennedy (ministre de la justice et candidat aux élections présidentielles américaines)

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (président des USA)

Léon Blum (premier ministre de la France)

Jean Jaurès (premier ministre de la France)

Abraham Lincoln (président des Etats-Unis)

etc.

Tiiu Kuik by Åsa Tällgård for ELLE Finland

[swedesinstockholm]

2 avril

ce matin je suis allée chercher les croissants et le pain en passant par la plage et en revenant je pensais à tous les endroits où j'avais écrit dans mon journal sur la plage, à tous les endroits où il s'est passé des trucs, des micro trucs, mais comme je les ai écrits dans mon journal c'est des micro trucs dont je me rappelle, qui ont marqué les endroits, et maintenant toute la plage du grau jusqu'au cap est imprégnée d'histoires. c'est comme les saami de finlande qui racontent leurs périples en donnant des noms à chaque endroit traversé, chaque tournant, chaque rapide dans la rivière, chaque nom donné dénote un moment du voyage et en listant les noms ils peuvent reconstituer toute l'histoire. bon c'est pas tout à fait la même chose, mais les endroits qu'ils traversent sont imprégnés de leurs histoires, c'est ça que je veux dire. ça c'est le rocher où j'ai vu trois bernard l'ermite faire l'amour ensemble, ça c'est le rocher où une anémone m'a gravé un corail dans la cuisse, ça c'est le rocher où j'ai vu un poulpe me faire un clin d'oeil, ça c'est le rocher derrière lequel j'étais cachée quand j'ai vu une femme sortir des vagues et remettre son tshirt en m'imaginant qu'on faisait l'amour en haut d'un phare un soir de tempête, etc. à force de revenir toujours au même endroit et à force d'écrire dessus, j'ai entièrement recouvert la plage de ma poésie.

je me suis assise sur un tronc d'arbre pour regarder un voilier rentrer dans le grau. quand il est passé devant les pyrénées enneigés on aurait dit la patagonie et j'ai pensé à mon père et à mon texte sur la famille, encore. je pensais à ce qu'il m'avait légué, malgré tout. au modèle qu'il m'avait laissé. je pensais à ça parce que hier h. nous racontait que j. était en train de se poser à peu près les mêmes questions que moi y a deux ans, quand je me demandais si ma vie était trop petite. à son centre équestre elle a rencontré des wwoofers à dreadlocks qui jouent de la guitare au coin du feu portent des écarteurs d'oreille vivent dans un van et vont ramasser des asperges dans les landes et elle est en train de se rendre compte qu'elle s'est engagée peut être un peu trop vite dans l'enfer de la vie domestique. que la vie a peut être plus à lui offrir que rentrer tous les soirs de son travail à la crèche où elle prend soin des enfants des autres pour faire à manger à son copain. qu'elle s'ennuie avec lui. hier elle se plaignait qu'il lui avait ramené un parfum qui pue du perthus et h. a pris sa défense en disant que c'était gentil et j. a rétorqué que les cadeaux ça va bien deux minutes mais que ça fait pas tout, y a d'autres moyens de se montrer attentionné. moi j'écoutais tout ça avec des grandes oreilles délectées parce que j'adore les histoires de tournant de vie et de grandes réalisations, les changements de paradigmes et de grands bouleversements.

c'est aussi enfin une histoire de la famille à laquelle je peux m'identifier, que je comprends, même si moi je suis pas engagée dans une vie de couple mortifère et que j'ai pas fait construire de maison et que je travaille pas dur dans une crèche, je suis quand même un peu engagée dans une vie de couple mortifère avec maman et moi aussi j'en attends plus de la vie. quand je suis partie en islande à 24 ans je me suis dit que je pouvais plus revenir en arrière maintenant, je veux une vie spectaculaire ou rien du tout. bon j'ai choisi rien du tout, ou c'est le rien du tout qui m'a choisie, je sais pas trop, mais au moins j'ai eu l'occasion de découvrir autre chose, des manières de vivre différentes de celles que je connaissais, des autres cultures, etc. j'ai eu droit à tout ça.

3 avril

cet après-midi dans le port du cap d'agde j'ai ouvert mes mails parce que je suis une grande malade et j'ai vu le mail de rejet de la revue sève et je trouvais ça rigolo de le lire au cap d'agde précisément, qui est le lieu-clé de mon texte. j'étais un peu déçue mais aussi un peu soulagée.

4 avril

r. vient me voir dimanche. j'ai peur de partir en vrille. j'ai peur de retomber dans la delulu. cet après-midi au somail on marchait le long du canal au soleil c'était très beau et très vert et y avait des bateaux amarrés au bord des herbes hautes et moi je marchais plongée dans mes fantasmes de dimanche à la maison poème avec r., je m'interdis rien, même si je sais que ça fera qu'aggraver ma déception quand je me rendrai compte que non il a pas changé d'avis depuis la dernière fois.

j'ai pris l'énéide à la grande librairie de livres d'occasions parce que quand je l'ai ouvert je suis tombée sur la sybille. g. m'a dit qu'il voulait le lire aussi. il a pris deux livres sur le développement personnel dont un sur la méthode coué. je lui ai pas parlé de la méthode diane von fürstenberg qui consiste à me faire des clins d'oeil dans le miroir en m'appelant bébé. à midi à table il a mentionné qu'il regardait c news et j'ai eu envie de me tenir le plus loin possible de lui. c'était viscéral. toutes ses remarques déplacées ont soudain pris sens, comme quand il appelait les anciens locataires les polaks, ou quand maman a parlé du couple avec les deux chats qui avait visité l'appart et qu'il a demandé de quel pays ils étaient et puis il a dit des gens de l'est quoi. je crois qu'il vote pas mais je suis quasiment sûre qu'il voterait extrême droite. il me répugne.

autre sujet, ce matin en allant au centre on marchait derrière deux femmes, l'une avait les cheveux blancs-gris et promenait son chien, l'autre avait l'air un chouïa plus jeune, elle portait un short en jean au genou et un bracelet de cheville argenté, elle avait les mollets musclés et bronzés et une démarche très nonchalante-masculine. je me demandais quelle était la nature du lien qui les unissait et je me disais que j'avais vraiment un truc pour les femmes plus âgées, bien plus âgées que moi. c'est mon kink. je suis attirée par les femmes âgées et les jolis garçons bouclés et névrosés.

Bon j’arrive pas à mettre les photos correctement TANT PIS 🤬.

J’ai lu un bon livre, ça y est, c’est celui-ci, avec ce drôle de titre, écrit par Monika Fagerholm, une finlandaise qui écrit en suédois.

C’est un livre étonnant, qui est très original dans sa composition, un peu circulaire, un peu répétitive. Il est question d’étés successifs en Finlande, sur une côte, où se retrouvent plusieurs familles (aux niveaux sociaux différents d’ailleurs) ; l’une vient d’Amérique et voudrait que sa vie ressemble à celle d’une star américaine ; elle lui emprunte tous ses attributs, attitude, centre d’intérêt, et surtout argent (son mari est riche et séducteur). Voilà pourquoi la narratrice parle de la vie rêvée de la plage, de l’été, sans cesse, jusqu’à ce que ça devienne une rengaine, un tic de langage dépourvu de sens. Elle s’y lie d’amitié avec Isabella, tout aussi attirée par le luxe, le désir d’enchanter chaque instant, passionnée d’elle même et pourtant terriblement désœuvrée, presque le reflet d’une personne, comme celui qu’elle aime regarder dans son miroir. Isabella a un mari et un fils, le passionnant Thomas.

On les suit dans leur amitié croissante, dans la répétition des mêmes rituels. Au début on peut être un peu surpris, voire ennuyé. Mais au fond, la narration cyclique a un effet très concret, celui de donner l’impression d’être avec elles, au milieu de ces journées infinies, que l’on finit par confondre, de sentir cet ennui à la fois mortifère et confortable, le temps se perd même un peu, ajoutant à la confusion, on a des flashs backs et des analepses, peu importe, il n’y a pas vraiment d’avant et d’après mais des fantasmes et au milieu, un jeune garçon, Thomas, qui grandit… il passe de huit à quatorze ans, et après beaucoup de stagnation dans son existence, les choses s’accélèrent tandis que les années soixante se terminent. Le monde change. Les femmes ont sans doute moins envie d’être les potiches, peut-être envie de se prendre en main et de considérer les autres choses que celles qui constituaient leur horizon. Y aurait-il autre chose en dehors de ce cercle familial et amical, au-delà de cette baie et de cet archipel ? On rêve de voyage, on joue à s’en aller, mais c’est dur de passer à l’acte, on risque le vertige, voire la chute.

L’histoire est racontée à la hauteur des yeux d’enfant de Thomas, à qui il n’échappe pas grand chose, même s’il ne comprend pas tout. Il découvre les silences des adultes, devine leurs mensonges, la cruauté et la bonté, la forêt, les fonds marins, joue à être scientifique, architecte, puis archiviste d’une famille en décomposition.

J’ai trouvé que l’enfance et son extra lucidité était incroyablement bien rendue. Ce ne sont pas les femmes que j’ai trouvées merveilleuses, mais cet enfant, sa solitude et sa sensibilité, sa faculté d’absorption et d’adaptation, ses réflexes de survie. Un héros inhabituel, discret et profondément touchant.

What are Finnish women known for?

Finnish women are known for their independence and strong sense of self. They are highly educated and have a strong commitment to equality. Finnish women are also active in the workforce, with nearly two-thirds of working-age women employed. In addition to their professional accomplishments, Finnish women are also active in the arts, sports, and other extracurricular activities.

Finnish women are frequently seen as role models in their communities and are known for their dedication to family and friends. As a result, Finnish women are highly respected members of society who are known for their many contributions to the country.

What is the beauty standard in Finland?

Finnish women are often lauded for their natural beauty, and it’s no wonder why. The Finnish standard of beauty is much different than what is commonly seen in the media. Finnish women are typically thought of as being tall, slender, and fair-skinned. They also tend to have blue or green eyes.

While these physical features are certainly considered to be attractive, Finnish women are also prized for their independent spirits and down-to-earth attitudes. In a country where nature is ever-present, Finnish women are seen as being in tune with the natural world. This appreciation for the outdoors helps to keep Finnish women looking young and vibrant. It’s no wonder that the Finnish standard of beauty is so highly respected by others around the world.

How tall are Finnish girls?

Finnish women are some of the tallest in the world, with an average height of about 5 feet 7 inches (1.7 meters). This is due in part to the fact that Finnish women tend to have longer legs than women from other countries.

Finnish women also tend to have a higher proportion of ” lean body mass,” which includes muscle, bone, and organ tissue. This may be due to the fact that Finnish women have a higher level of activity than women from other countries.

In addition, Finnish women tend to consume a diet that is high in dairy products, which contain calcium and other nutrients that are essential for bone growth. As a result of these factors, Finnish women tend to be taller than women from other countries.

Are Finnish girls friendly?

Finnish women are known for being shy and reserved, but once you get to know them they are actually very friendly and warm. Finnish culture is very individualistic, so Finnish women are used to taking care of themselves and not relying on others. This independence is one of the things that makes Finnish women so attractive – they are not looking for a man to take care of them, but someone to share their life with.

Finnish women are also well-educated and have interesting careers, so they are definitely worth getting to know. So if you’re looking for a friendly Finnish girl, don’t be afraid to approach one and strike up a conversation. You might just find your perfect match.

Love a good bit of rock Belgium: So upbeat and fun and lively Armenia: Ariana Grande wannabe (and, once again, we don’t need dance breaks) Moldova: EPIC FLUTE GUY. Really enjoyed this Ukraine: Matrix style Norway: I like this. Reminds me of some stuff I listen too just more electronic Germany: YES! I need my full-on rock metal act!! Lithuania: Nice song Israel: Another Ariana Grande wannabe… and yet another unnecessary dance break Slovenia: Looks like they fell out the 60s. Sounds like a pop punk group. Not complaining Croatia: I am so glad this made the final! It is perfect Eurovision! United Kingdom: I once again apologise. We are ending with a flop. I am so sorry.
