Helsinglight! A creative place filled with various alternative artworks and performances, everywhere
We’ve got a great vision to create an artistic and magical destination/platform with our Helsinglight! We’re inspired by Norse Mythology and Swedish folklore, mixed with LOTR, Narnia, Harry Potter, Pan’s labyrinth, The Addams Family, Alice in Wonderland... and we’ll add some of traditional Hälsingland, Sweden to it too.
