'We did this project in coorporation with musical artists of Finland, who because of covid-19 got unemployed. We wanted to come together as a team to cheer everyone up during these difficult times by doing what we love the most. As they say: we are all in this together - Don't stop believin'!'

Hitler ja Blondi on esityksenä muotoutuva ja vaatii herkkyyttä ja heittäytymiskykyä katsojassa. Ei siis kannata odottaa jotain helppoa dialogia tai selkeää alkua, keskikohtaa ja loppua. Välillä roolihenkilöt asettuvat katsojan asemaan ja kerronnassa hypitään asioista toiseen, onneksi selkeässä järjestyksessä, 'laulujen muodossa', jotka heijastetaan seinälle, jopa numeroituna yhdestä kolmeentoista.

'Speksillä tarkoitetaan opiskelijoiden toteuttamaa musiikkinäytelmää, jossa yhdistyvät draamalliset elementit, musiikki, tanssi, laulu ja improvisaatio. Speksiin kuuluvana improvisaatioelementtinä mukana ovat yleisön omstart-huudot, joiden avulla katsojat voivat vaikuttaa lavan tapahtumiin.' /valtsikanspeksi.com

Sapiens got its premiere in Autumn 2019 but was so succesfull that it got more shows in Spring 2020. To put it short I totally recommend this experience, especially if you loved the book or if you love the endearing documentaries narrated by Jarmo Heikkinen.

Maijalan ohjauksessa nautittavia yksityiskohtia on lukuisia. Tietynlaisia fyysisiä eleitäkin on rajatusti, mikä tuo selkeyttä ja yhtenäisyyttä esitykseen: sormella tasapainoteltavaa alkoholia, naaman vääntelyä käsillä, lintuja ja niiden höyheniä sekä kiljuntaa. 

Teatteri Jurkan pieni teatteritila on lavastettu olohuonemaisesti. Muuttolaatikoista hohkaa valoa. Lattialla on kasa kirjoja, joissa komeilee suurmiehien nimiä: Loiri, Jussi Parviainen, Tauno Palo, Dostojevski, Stanislavski, Turkka. Turkan kirja on punainen.

All in all Annie is fairly good musical full of surprises, not to mention its humane approach to life: Magical things can happen to us, but if the little details you've longed for so long don't match, it's more than okay to feel sad, though it might feel wrong in the first hand. In the end, tomorrow's only a day away anyways. I love you, tomorrow... And I love you, Vaskivuori!

Kinves Out has just recently hit the cinemas. It has gained great reviews from critics and audiences. Unfortunately, there was one fellow who left the cinema with a great sigh. Me, who just two hours earlier had waited for an interesting murder-mystery that would have kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end like The Prestige (Nolan, 2006) did.

This was my first time seeing and most of all hearing the FORK acapella group. They started in 1996, so after 22 years of touring they have decided to call it quits. The show had the atmosphere of a funeral in terms of clothing and lighting, but later on after the intermission it rose to celebration, bright colors of beauty and joy of memorial.

How would I explain Fingerpori to a non-Finnish person... Fingerpori is a popular and well-liked comic strip that appears in a daily magazine. It follows the life of Heimo (Jari Pehkonen) and his friends and colleagues in Fingerpori-city. The comic plays around mainly with puns, word plays, not forgetting about topical comedy. The creator is Pertti Jarla and the stage version has gotten its premiere in February 2019. I saw it on 12th of November.

All in all Vihainen Leski (the Angry Widow) is a fine play that teaches even the younger generation like me what it is like to be older. To me it told the most about friendships, how dreaming goes on in the older days too, and letting go of the past.

I step into the auditorium. The awaiting audience is as if underwater already because of the lighting that resembles water. As the show starts, we get the logo of 'The Little Mermaid' projected onto otherwise transparent screen. The music plays the classic tunes, for example Part of Your world. It looks 3D! Two little fish puppets swim and seem to fall in love, guiding us into the under sea world and puppetry.

Jos ihminen ei anna kaikkeaan lavalla, niin se on tosi surullista, että se pitäisi yrittää ohjaajana sieltä sitten löytää, toteaa Katriina Honkanen

Spamalot at Tornava's Summer Theater is full of physical comedy, keen actors and glee on a cool set design!

Murder on the Orient Express is a performance filled with excitement, colorful characters and plot that opens up to the audience bit by bit, just at right times. The performance doesn't leave you could though Suomenlinna could, but surely gets you on an emotional ride if you are just willing to take the train.
