Arvio: Täällä Pohjantähden alla näyttää, mihin suomalainen kesäteatteri pystyy
by Rosanna Liuski - July 29, 2023

Kaiken kaikkiaan Täällä Pohjantähden alla on erinomainen kantaesitys. Sami Keski-Vähälä onnistuu kuljettamaan palan meidän kaikkien historiaa, samalla kyläpahaisen tapahtumat teatterin keinoin, kuin vettä vaan! Nokian etunäyttämön avustajat rikastuttavat esitystä, rakkaus lajiin näkyy....

Review: Jekyll & Hyde at Finnish National Ballet by Val Caniparoli
by Rosanna Liuski - April 24, 2023

I got the chance to see the ballet version of Jekyll and Hyde at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. The thing that struck and absorbed me to make sure I get a seat was the amazing Instagram advertisement. There were two men dancing in sync in red lights. Just a few clicks and I knew they were Je...

Review: ACTION HERO at TAMPERE WORKER'S THEATER
by Rosanna Liuski - February 07, 2023

What did our critic think of ACTION HERO at TAMPERE WORKER'S THEATER? Playwright-Director Liila Jokelin's Action Hero is an excellent take on modern topics that young people and artists have to think about: if woman likes to be spanked, is it okay to use that on screen? Is it okay to lie a little ju...

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....

It had its premiere in Finland, excluding its reading in Reading European Drama Festival, Helsinki 2019. The text itself is eventful and interesting with many layers and possibiliti...

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...

BWW Finland Review: REvolution by The Red Nose Company
by Rosanna Liuski - November 26, 2021

'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. The performance studies the meaning of being seen through clownery and comedy. How one finds an own voice and how to make it heard? Whose responsibility is i...

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....

BWW Review: THE COMEDY ABOUT A BANK ROBBERY at TURKU CITY THEATRE

My journey to this work started by Turku City theatre's Teosavaus, a preview panel with the director Snoopi Siren and two of the actors, old-timer Taneli Mäkelä and newcomer Elias Keränen, interviewed by the head of art department Mikko Kouki. It was a good set of people in terms of hearing about th...
