Note: No longer in repertoire!

Minttu Mustakallio takes us on a journey into Märta Tikkanen’s world in a captivating new interpretation of the iconic verse novel.

In the performance, actor Minttu arrives to rehearse a monologue. To her surprise, the director has also invited a test audience. But the director is nowhere to be seen, and Minttu soon begins receiving the strangest instructions via Teams. The result is both comic and tragic.

First published in 1978, Tikkanen’s classic is a timeless and forthright portrayal of an unequal relationship. It is a powerful story in which a woman gives vent to her feelings, confronts power and dependency—and, in doing so, keeps herself alive.

The poetry collection has been adapted for the stage by Aino Pennanen and Riikka Oksanen, who also directs the production.

Performance rights: Finlands Dramatiker och Manusförfattare. Aino Pennanen’s rights are represented by Nordic Drama Corner.

Subtitles:

The performance is subtitled in Finnish and Swedish via the Subtitle Mobile app. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play. We recommend downloading the app to your smartphone in advance. During the performance, you can follow the subtitles on your phone. Each performance has its own code, which must be entered into the app before the performance begins. The subtitle code is K227.

If necessary, you can also borrow a subtitling device from our staff in the foyer.

P.S. Please arrive on time. When the outer doors open, a half-hour HAPPY HALF HOUR begins, with sparkling drinks available at a special price!
