BWW Finland: HITLER JA BLONDI ON DOKUMENTAARINEN, BRECHTILÄISYYDELLÄ MAUSTETTU POHDINTA PAHUUDESTA
by Rosanna Liuski - March 09, 2020
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.

BWW Review: SAPIENS at the Finnish National Theatre
by Rosanna Liuski - February 12, 2020
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.
BWW Arvio: HUMISEVA HARJU ravistelee Helsingin Kaupunginteatterilla
by Rosanna Liuski - February 07, 2020
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.

by Rosanna Liuski - January 29, 2020
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.
BWW Review: YOUTH ON STAGE: ANNIE the musical at Culture House Martinus
by Rosanna Liuski - January 13, 2020
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!
BWW Review: FORK ACAPELLA GROUP'S CHAPTER ONE: THE END at Swedish Theatre Of Helsinki
by Rosanna Liuski - November 21, 2019
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.
BWW Review: FINGERPORI at Helsinki City Theatre
by Rosanna Liuski - November 19, 2019
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.
BWW Review: VIHAINEN LESKI (THE ANGRY WIDOW) at Helsinki City Theatre
by Rosanna Liuski - November 02, 2019
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.

Review and Photos: DISNEY'S LITTLE MERMAID PREMIERED AT HELSINKI AND LOOKS MAGICAL
by Rosanna Liuski - September 05, 2019
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.

BWW Haastattelu: Katriina Honkanen, Nainen Rosvojen takana
by Rosanna Liuski - August 12, 2019
Jos ihminen ei anna kaikkeaan lavalla, niin se on tosi surullista, että se pitäisi yrittää ohjaajana sieltä sitten löytää, toteaa Katriina Honkanen
