Review: Svartsjuka

FAXES ARE FLYING

Your husband, who is mine
my husband, is her husband.
Svartsjuka, performed at Lilla Teatern,
the focus is on the man and yet
there is no man. A man is emotions,
women’s feelings that he
wakes up.

The Argentine-born writer
Esther Vilar’s text is brilliant and it
also works well with Raila Leppäkoski’s
on the stage of Lillan.
Fax fight over the man
Leena Uotila, Jonna Järnefelt and
Cecilia Paul knows their stuff. They
sizzling, hissing and screaming
Incited by jealousy –
According to the title of the play.

Quite charming in Vilar’s text
is how a man has been made
woman, status symbol. A man as a person
and as a person is not so important,
but his ownership is. Women
are fighting for power, in this case
owning a man, than the history of
duelists.

But does a battle victory bring a woman
Good luck? You can go and see it.
