Lay of Leithian collage I just finished!

30in by 24in, photos glued onto canvas. Photos not my me but the arrangement is. I might add some swirly lines of glitter at some point, but I’m pretty happy with how it is now!

Emerald Streams

Lay of Leithian

It's been a while since I last announced a stream more than one day in advance...! Two years ago, I streamed Finrod as part of this stream series, and now it's time for the second rock opera based on the tale of Beren and Lúthien!

From the unofficial website: Two different fates are woven together when Lúthien, an elven princess, falls in love with Beren, a hero of mortal men. To win her hand, Beren is sent on an impossible quest- to cut a legendary gem from the crown of the Dark Lord. So begins this battle between light and darkness, love and duty, in the most enduring tale of Middle Earth.

English, Russian, Finnish and Spanish subtitles available! This linktree contains links to the translation and is a fantastic resource.

Edrian Bernada's Sauron proves that looks only play a minor role when it comes to a great portrayal of characters. No, he doesn't look anything like I imagined Sauron to look like, and I doubt he matches anyone's mental image. But when he's on stage, Sauron is on stage. He's Sauron with every fibre of his being, incredibly consistent, a brilliant and powerful Maia. Who cares about his looks?

Here's a "review" of the most recent performance in Moscow, Russia on 24 November 2022, broadcast live on Boomstream. Fair warning: I'm not a professional reviewer! Hence, here are some observations, thoughts, favourite moments; I didn't attempt to write a formal review.

How lucky are we to have insanely und uniquely talented performers like Edrian Bernada, Mikhail Sidorenko, Daria Burlyukalo, and Yaroslav Bayarunas play our favourite Tolkien characters??? It just... hit me.

"Your fav could never", they say, but Sasha Rychkov and Edrian Bernada promising to be each other's Finrod and Sauron forever and ever in front of a wedding wreath is pretty epic actually

Technically it's Celegorm Day, but here's Huan being a Good Boy instead.
