Who is Finnish?
By Kristina Junttila and Ferske Scener
Who is Finnish is a performance in three parts that deals with language fixation and the uncontrollable by being multilingual. And the question whether Kristina Junttila is Finnish or Norwegian. The first part is a short dramatic work based on interviews with Finns and Finnish immigrants in Northern-Norway. The second part presents a linguist’s professional knowledge of multilingualism. In the third part we get to know Kristina Junttilas biography. She is multilingual and has been it all of her life. Is it so good as the linguists want us to believe?
