Iitin kansallisteatteri
Year 2002 Kärtsy was asked to make his debut composition for a theatre piece called Akseli ja Eelo.The connection to the offer was pretty personal, the subject of the piece being a tragical story of his great uncles in the beginning of the 20th century. These two brothers were enthusiastic Tolstoians, living at the time of the civil war in Finland, and finally tragically getting killed by the civil war soldiers because of their pasifistic thoughts.The music was performed at the stage of the summer theatre of Iitti in 2003, in the original surroundings of the brothers of the story.The theatre piece was a huge success, most of the shows were sold out. The story is based on Kärtsy´s mother Maijas documentary book about his great uncles, called “Ei saarnaamalla vaan elämällä”.
