BWW Arvio: OLEN SUOMALAINEN on rento, yhteinen nostalgiatrippi Kari Tapion elamaan
by Rosanna Liuski - July 27, 2022
Olen suomalainen tuo Kari Tapion elämän lavalle iloineen ja suruineen, kuten ohjaaja-koreografi Osku Heiksanen lupaa käsiohjelmassa. Myös mielenkiintoista oli lukea, että Karin Tapion poika Joona on auttanut esityksen teossa, jakaen muistoja isästään. Esitys on saanut ensi-iltansa 2019....

BWW Review: The Hobbit at Turku is a Solid Fantasy Adventure
by Rosanna Liuski - April 04, 2022
Unlike the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit is a book targeted for children. Thus the crew had seemingly made a choice to stay true to its source material. Things are kept simple and even the most scary stone-trolls are made less scary with a funny accent. Gandalf comes forth to tell the story as if a ...
ARVIO: Marian tunnustus pohtii ja opettaa pyhästä, rakkaudesta ja anteeksiannosta, teatteri Avoimet Ovet
by Rosanna Liuski - March 11, 2022
Marian tunnustus - muistokirjoitus hevoselle on vakuuttava kotimainen uutuusteos. Sen yksi inspiraation lähteistä on Eeva Mesiäisen elämäkerta Maria Kajavan pitkä taival, joka kertoo inkerinsuomalaisesta Mariasta. Hänellä oli poikkeuksellinen palo luterilaisen seurakunnan perustamiseen aikana, jollo...

'RÈvolution is here and ready to give the stage to the Invisible Ones! RÉvolution is the second performance from the clown-duo Babylon and RÉ.

Review and Analysis: 1,718 words on LOU SALOME at KOM-Theatre
by Rosanna Liuski - November 06, 2021
A performance starts as early as in the green room (lämpiö). Everything was lit with a subtle, almost unnoticeable red light. It's the color of bravery and the femininity, a color of a sacrifice - though before the 1940s it was the color of the masculine....

by Rosanna Liuski - May 21, 2021
Tuukka Vasama and Timo Ruuskanen are the clown pair on stage, named Mike and Zin. They have also done the dramaturgy work and are clearly professionals in clownery.
