Noch Urlaubstage im Jahr- Turku- die Kulturhauptstadt 2011

Fancy a challenge, a bit of fun or both?
October – time to question and create new things In October, Turku, the Capital of Culture, will offer a number of incredible shows featuring household names and impressive settings. Several musical, cinematic and theatrical performances will be complemented by the exchange of information and ideas about silence – albeit in such a grandiose manner that the exchange of information will become a mass performance. During January–September, a total of 1,587,700 visitors participated in the various events of the Capital of Culture year. Of these numbers, Logomo visits amounted to 190,000 people. The total numbers do not yet include all visitors to open public events. The busy summer and early autumn offered many outdoor events, and the time for them is not over yet. In mid-October, Samppalinna open-air swimming pool will witness the surrealist contemporary theatre performance Abduction of Europa. At the end of the month, Turku Castle surrounding will be taken over by the large-scale Speak No Evil event, which will showcase the performance tradition of the English mummers as a carnival-type experience featuring actors and large puppets and involving audience participation.
