Review: Keltainen kuu

Yellow Moon

The problems of modern people are condensed into a series of events in which chance plays a major role. Lee and Lee’s mother are visibly problematic, Leila is invisibly problematic. When Lee and Leila meet by chance, they both have a history of anxiety and loneliness. No adult is the security of their lives, even though they are nearby. Lee stabs her mother’s boyfriend and confronts Leila, who escapes to celebrity magazines. Their journey away together begins by chance and continues as they look for something better, adult and an object of admiration.

The play, which is built on a tough and time-familiar theme, is concise and tough to watch. Nothing is left to guess and everyone has problems for which there are not really easy solutions.

The topic is clearly topical, because the same issues are being tackled in several theatres at the same time.

Leo Honkonen In the role of Lee, he makes a great role. Honkonen plays her role comprehensively, the language of the body fills the unspeakable thoughts.

Ushma Karnani Leila’s role is a good and balancing opposite, a sensitive and childish girl who grows into an adult.

Lee’s mother is Vera Kiiskinen , who is strong as a weak and insecure mother. Pekka Huotari’s roles as a boyfriend and father are similar, basic men who are pampering when drunk.
