Review: Sian morsian

The expectation was that you can laugh. Over the years, I have read Juba Tuomola’s comic strip and the humour has sunk into me.
After all, the main role in the story is played by Viivi as a woman. A hardworking, conscientious, all-caring, deeply in love woman.
The man is Wagner. A lazy, work-averse, shameless pig who likes to sit on the couch.
Viivi wants to get married and that’s how it all began…

Sanna Hietala in the role of Viivi was a believable, enthusiastic and loving woman who bravely commanded her own pig. Sixten Lundberg as Wagner gave a quite believable performance as a pig shirking responsibility. Smiley.
Viivi’s mother was Hannele Lauri and her father was Markku Huhtamo.

Pia Runnakko as Viivi’s grandmother was funny! There were fiancées in the south and in Finland, breasts bursting briskly enjoying the company of young men, and boisterously travelled with Oskari Katajisto, who played the role of Paska-Jaska. In several of his roles, Katajisto made the audience laugh with his gestures and body language. Smiley.

The costumes caught my attention: simple but still really functional, costumes suitable for the characters.
Thank you to Riitta Anttonen-Palo.

The expectation was right: you can’t help but laugh at this humour. At least I can’t.
The premiere was on 5.9.2012 at Teatteristudio Pasila.
