A supernatural warrior from Old Norse mythology, consumed by the frenzy of battle and intoxicated by the chaos it brings. This fierce character embodies the spirit of the berserker—fearless, relentless, and driven by an almost otherworldly energy.
The performance reaches new heights with Live NEON Drums by the renowned drummer Siim Koppel. His electrifying rhythms, combined with the visual spectacle of neon-lit percussion, add a modern, dynamic twist to this Viking-themed production. Siim Koppel's masterful drumming amplifies the raw power and intensity of the scene, seamlessly blending ancient mythology with cutting-edge sound and visuals. The result is a breathtaking, unforgettable experience that immerses the audience in the primal energy of the Norse world.

A Walk in the Skye – By Air, Land & Sea
Our athlete Alex Schulz has just walked a slackline between the isle of Skye and the highest of the sea stacks “Macleods Maidens”. Climbing and rigging the highline on this stunning island was
surely a very special experience, but still only half the adventure, as we spent the last three weeks on a sailboat to get here all the way up from south England riding through still waters as well
as storms! Get all the details here on the project page!

Tervisemaja aerial show
Tauri Vahesaar performed a unique show at the beautiful, light-filled Health House, a space dedicated to wellness and vitality.
The star of the performance was a shimmering Health Sphere, symbolizing health and well-being. As a slackliner, my mission was to carefully transport the sphere across the rope, representing the journey of safeguarding health.
The tension built as I navigated the rope, with sound effects echoing my quickening heartbeat, immersing the audience in the suspenseful moment. Upon successfully delivering the sphere to the host, they placed it on an elevated pedestal, symbolizing the arrival of health at the Health House. In that instant, the sphere lit up, the room filled with radiant light, champagne corks popped, and the house was ceremonially opened in a burst of celebration.

Blog post "Lavaline in the Shadow of the Pandemic" is online
At the very latest when the WHO declared a pandemic status on 11.03.2020, it was clear that COVID-19 could cause us difficulties. However, all our flights had already been firmly booked at that
time. Without a chance for a refund we had to at least try to get into Vanuatu with the hope that we would make it back sometime, whenever that might be.
Read how our project was shaped by the Corona crisis and how close we were from not making it at all.
