Review: Myyrä
The mole is now being chased on stage
Domestic political satire has grown properly from undersized
existence. Based on Jari Tervo’s novel Mole and Sami
The dramatisation of the play of the same name by Keski-Vähälä rejoices
supported by real and imaginary people in the Helsinki
At the City Theatre.
For almost three hours, the hunt for Mole is on the theatre’s small stage.
The events take place in Finland in the late 70s and early 80s, and
Soviet Union and the memories of the then president over decades
back – to 1918 and encounters with the neighboring Generalissimus.
Fiction has a harsh place in the text, but the truth is so charmingly
a lot as a binder that gets confused. And that creates the charm of the Mole .
The genre has been longed for
It has been time to make political satire an unblackmailed part of it
Finnish theatre. In the Mole, political gods are shot
and what the people have known is told to them.
The people are also told what they have not known and what they have not
never existed – maybe – but what fun to imagine. Jari
Tervo, on the other hand, is a master of the flight of thought, who keeps facts and
the intertwined twists and turns of fiction on many levels
simultaneously.
For thousands of years, theatre has told what the people have asked for. Now
The time has come for us to use political satire to unite the people
and as an element that breaks its pent-ups, where free laughter and unbridled
Humour, even arrogance and compassion burst out. It is only appropriate to ask what
has withheld this shaky laughter and pent-up speech from us. British
They have been able to do this sport for a long time. It wasn’t customary to have a queen either
to save money.
This is also a Kekkos play
As a president who looks just like Kekkonen, Antti does a great job
Litja. He performs his duties with his full range of emotions. When Litja is
mocking and angry on stage, even the audience is afraid of what the punishment will be
expected. Kekkonen, who looks like Litja – or vice versa – is credibly
manly, Kekkonen-like, masculine, distant and unpredictable,
peculiar in its humour.
The picture of the time includes the rather damp Finnish-Soviet people
meetings, even if you already have one foot in the grave. There are no caricatures
I’m not even afraid when a bushy-eyed statesman plays with a juice straw.
The younger Kekkonens, who do not compete with the old principal, are
Hannes Suominen and Matti Olavi Ranin. Stepanov’s Reds
CCCP sweatpants have the authentic look of the times and the man has the spirit of YYA, and they
dresses Seppo Maijala externally and internally. Pertti Koivula
It was good to expect a lot from the Stalin interpretation in advance, and from the devil
Up to the furry hat boss on skates Koivula’s performance
hits like a quilt bolt.
Beria is actually the most horrible encounter in the play, and Jouko
You would hardly believe Klemettilä to play that cruel person
One hundred percent, as he does. Karelian-born Bear

With the help of Kolehmainen’s costumes, apt memories of the past
From Finland and the Soviet Union.
After the initial fragmentation, Milko Lehto’s direction is finally apt; see
as if it were putting itself together. Markku Tsokkinen all the time
shoe set reminiscent of the past, and Tamminiemi’s
sunken office bunker, and due to various transports,
The rails work in a decent way. – Gas masked men and a few others
visualisations reminded me of crazy passages from the Russian Sun
But it didn’t matter.
Of course, the mole is not raw at all in the end, but it is in an intelligent way
serious and entertaining. The genre of the mole is clear, and it has
in our theatres. Such things are not done without a mental atmosphere
order.
