Log Head
Pölkyllä Pää
The main character is a half-metre birch log that is skiing in the forest on red mini skis with its lumberjack hat on its head. The torso is sawn in half, it has a gnarled crotch and a wound left by a chainsaw. Log Head has special skills, it moves, becomes moved, and moves others. Its soul is recognisable: it is envious of handsome and whole Juniper; in a clear-cut area of the forest its heart breaks and it tries to unite with Stump. Log Head is also sensual. And temperamental: it gets cross when ignored. In its emotional turmoil Log Head explodes, smokes and blackens, its bark sweats sap and curls up. NEW: Log Head is an experimental comedy about a birch log with a soul and a pair of skis. When old and useless, and ready to be chopped, Log Head takes off to its skis. Will Log Head’s escape be blocked?
