BWW Finland: HITLER JA BLONDI ON DOKUMENTAARINEN, BRECHTILÄISYYDELLÄ MAUSTETTU POHDINTA PAHUUDESTA
by Rosanna Liuski - Mar 9, 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: LITTLE MISS BURDEN, The Bunker
by Jonathan Marshall - Dec 7, 2019

The 90's was an incredible decade for music, film and fashion. It was also a time when society in general was less accepting. For anyone who didn't fit the brief of what was once considered 'normal', life was far more challenging than it is now. In 2019 there is still much work to be done, though it must be said that in general terms we have finally come to embrace diversity. We have London Pride, Black History Month and Mental Health Awareness Week. People with physical disabilities, though, still seem to be on the periphery and are all too easily swept under the carpet. Fitting then, that this new play by Matilda Ibini is being performed underground at the Bunker Theatre.
