by Rosanna Liuski - September 17, 2021
In a nutshell Frankenstein is an entertaining, though minimalistic show with simple, yet important themes. Its target audience is children, though adults can enjoy it alike for there are recognisable songs and scenic jokes on living in a student studio.

PINTAREMONTTI Comes To Kansallisteatter October 27
by BWW Staff - July 29, 2021
Henna Heinonen (Annika Poijärvi) on ahdistunut lapsettomuudestaan, mutta kaikista hedelmällisyyshoidoista huolimatta asia ei edisty. Hänen sympaattinen veljensä Sami (Juha Varis) on sarjarakastuja, joka haaveilee lapsen hankkimisesta. Herkästi innostuva Sami antaa itsestään todellista paremman kuvan, mikä johtaa hänet yhä tukalampiin tilanteisiin, eivätkä hänen parisuhteensa tahdo kestää pitkään. Oli häät tai hautajaiset, sisarusten äiti Seija (Tiina Weckström) utelee molemmilta, milloin lapsenlapsia on tulossa. Samin kaverit Pesonen (Heikki Pitkänen) ja Markus (Pyry Nikkilä) ovat vastuunkantajia, jotka ovat joutuneet yksinhuoltajiksi: Markus kolmen pienen lapsen, Pesonen kahden sairaan vanhempansa. Suosittu hyvinvointibloggari Sini (Katja Küttner) asettaa riman korkealle niin itselleen kuin lukijoilleen.

LOOPIT Will be Performed by Tero Saarinen Company in September
by BWW News Desk - July 17, 2021
Loopit focuses on the unfinished, repetitive and topsy-turvy nature of the human condition. We loop same themes, challenges and mistakes from century to century as we try to free ourselves from – often self-inflicted – frames. The absurd atmosphere of Saarinen’s choreography is inspired by the music of punk cabaret band The Tiger Lillies and texts from William Shakeaspeare‘s plays.
