In my opinion, we We place too much emphasis on sensations and so-called exploits. – Small is great.” These are the words of the Norwegian best-selling author Ingvar Ambjörnsen. After seeing Studio Pasila’s novelty, Elling, he gladly agrees with the author. Ambjörnsen’s story is charming. It moves gently tightens the heart and is realised as a stage work in an enjoyable way. XXXXX This autumn’s theatre offering in the capital is plentiful, high-quality and multi-nuanced. Elling stands out with a glowing gold nugget law. It is the story of two outcasts who are a little mentally shaken young men who are seeking to return after a period of institutional care society, open conditions, so to speak. Friends have arranged housing of the city, and their adaptation is supervised by the social worker. Comedy born of anxiety, other people’s neuroses and fears is as violent as the laughter it unleashes is liberating. When your phone rings causes panic when going to the store feels overwhelming, when it is safe is only within four walls, and even there is the most familiar thought from the “past life”. and behavioral patterns. Why not, the viewer finds themselves wondering. Phobias of varying degrees are true for many people personally. Someone doesn’t dare to go into the elevator, another I’m afraid of public speaking or the dentist’s chair. XXXXX To Elling and Kjell Bjarne for coping with everyday life becomes like a matter of life and death, for unless they are gradually encouraged and show signs of recovery – if that is any correct expression – their must return to institutional care. Audience You find yourself enjoying even the smallest advances of the characters in the story. It We are like a cheering bag in sports competitions. All for one. and The joy of success, it is meant to be shared. Nor The text is by no means based on the fact that only all the world’s slippers would be freaks, no no, yes outside of our mental institutions there is sometimes wonder in the actions and reactions of those who walk around, and these The author skilfully taps into the features. And all the time there is between the lines you can also read the medical history, what kind of circumstances are at stake right now have lowered their tolerance threshold and their resistance, raised the sensitivity bare to the surface. Equally, the relativity of intelligence and the recognition of the value of emotions in all social interactions. XXXXX Tommi Auvinen’s direction has produced a great performance, where even the physical range of the characters has been used insightfully good for extending the episodes beyond the actual stage. Jouko Klemettilä’s acting is admirable and confusingly precise and fine-tuned. His Elling is related to the film’s Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman in similar roles interpreted by these stars, e.g. due to its well-researched and rich language of gestures and facial expressions. The young Tuomas Uusitalo is appealingly childlike and fully empathetic Kjell Bjarne, who plays together with Klemettilä hunches. Eppu Salminen also makes a rough and grippy tense role as a social worker, and the “smell of a woman” that Marjut Toivanen in all three roles. Kaarina Naski

World is already like that. Theatre seems to be such that a play that tells about caring for a fellow human being, is immediately a victory side. Studio Pasila’s Elling is just such a play. Helsinki You leave the City Theatre performance in good spirits. After all, there is exists and is worth telling, caring. Henri The play, translated into Finnish by Kapulainen, is based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s novel The Blood Brothers. The same material has also been used to A Norwegian blockbuster film that was watched with tears in their eyes, sometimes with laughter Crying, sometimes moved by compassion. At Studio Pasila, the interpretation directed by Tommi Auvinen is of the same country, in everything even in its differences. The proposal is swift and Fun theatre, but not too fun. It is Important. What is different is the fact that the film can of course cope with its tasks with less acting like theatre. For a while Even Studio Pasila wonders if there is something a little too much in all this. There is compared to film, but not necessarily theatre . Jouko However, Klemettilä plays the role of Elling as the watchmaker with precision to the brim of details. Another survivor, Kjell Bjarne, interpreting Tuomas Uusitalo is fresher in the sense that he goes more directly to the point, attacks without meandering and like a whirlwind of things, to the core. So there is a difference between the actors, but not a drop of harm. Besides, Jouko Klemettilä’s expressive The precision work is impossibly fun to follow. And after all, it tells the story of the person . On top of that, Elling’s poetry meeting scene in the auditorium is On the shoulders of an artist, Klemettilä joyful. I think I see in Klemettilä coming Lasse Pöystin. He is skill, presence and warmth. Familiar to many The story is about two mental health treatments. They are released from institutional care and get a shared apartment from the City of Oslo. Now we have to overcome our fears. You have to learn to cope with the demands of civilian life, together and separately. The competition is fierce. Sometimes we go along the walls. Just answering the phone produces almost unsurpassed difficulties. But they learn. And it can be reveals without ruining the viewer’s experience that they will also overcome the challenges, which the social worker, Eppu Salminen, who carefully dispenses tenderness and severity, on the path of partnerships throw. Two manage to fly over cuckoo’s nest. Somewhere To a large extent , both the play and the performance are in trouble with their ending. The story lacks the required last threat threshold that has yet to be crossed Achieve final freedom when redeeming. The narrative is in its finale too much legaton and drifts a little aside from its central theme. The performance too loses a touch of its energy and vitality. When it’s all over Everything is also credibly and touchingly good. So in this type of In the story, it has to happen. A happy ending encourages you to understand where At its core, Elling is about that: caring. Marjut Toivanen is a delicious comedian in three of the plays. in her female role, but especially as a charming waitress with her fat sauce and all. Studio Things are good in Pasila . Rocks in his pocket are still gathering full stands. I think Elling will be an equally hit. Thematically, plays move in the same places loved by the audience. As a theatre, they are quality.

Read moreFear of the new and the joy of survivalCourage and caring for others are things that have not been seen very often on theatre stages lately. When you see it, you notice that you fall in love. The tearing up of the dark sides of life is in order, but an everyday survival story like Studio Pasila’s Elling easily beats them. Elling, directed by Tommi Auvinen , is an antidote to a tired mind, because when you leave the theatre, you are full of the energy of healing laughter.Elling is based on the Norwegian novel Blood Brothers by Ingvar Ambjörnsen. The book is about two mental health rehabilitees who receive a shared apartment from the City of Oslo. Now we should go from the security offered by the institution to the beginning of an independent life. There are plenty of reasons to be afraid, starting from answering the phone and daring to go to the store.Told like this, the story doesn’t seem very glowing, but see on stage the men’s fears, bravery, desire to try and, above all, amazing humor. The laughter that the situations in the play evoke in the audience is neither mockery nor mockery. On the contrary, the viewer feels deep compassion and gets the opportunity to recognize their own fears and timidities. Jouko Klemettilä is Elling, who grew up to be a man of his time in his mother’s arms, and whose world collapsed when his mother died. He has the cunning to get his friend, Kjell Bjarne (Tuomas Uusitalo), who has been through a lot, to do scary things for him. Elling’s every hand movement, cutting food into millimetre-precise pieces, small taps on the tip of the shoe, neat meticulousness and a shoulder bag that brings security are wonderful finds. They keep the frightening world together. Tuomas Uusitalo lets Kjell Bjarne’s emotions show. He runs, stomps, sweats and melts into a joyful smile when things go well, he gets a kitten or a fat sauce in a restaurant. A talented young actor who was a pleasure to watch. Those sitting nearby could see every drop of sweat, the twitching of the cheek muscles and the thumping of the hem of the shirt.Compassion is also aroused by the figure of a social worker (Eppu Salminen) who encourages and supports men. The difference between the caregiver and the patient cracks at the end when the man talks about the tragedy of his own life. Marjut Toivanen plays the role of a waiter, neighbour and doctor in the play. Oh, the seductions that he offers in front of Eling and Kjell Bjarne as a waitress.A great play for these autumn rains. Axell Hellstenius, Ingvar Ambjörnsen, Peter Naess: Elling., Premiere at Studio Pasila 23.9.
Read moreTeatteristudio Pasila offers a play that will make you cry and giggle. Elling is the title of the play and also its neurotic protagonist. Jouko Klemettilä captivates the audience with his adornment as the middle-aged mama’s son Elling. Together with the helpless and woman-sick Kjell Barne, aka Tuomas Uusitalo, they form a pair that is bound together by a fear of the outside world. The friends have just come out of the madhouse. Living is a bit scary, so they settle for binoculars from the shelter of the curtains of their new apartment. The play is based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s novel The Blood Brothers. The original name is Elling og Kjell Barne. The City Theatre has only taken the essentials from the name. However, the truth is that it is the chemistry between the actors that makes the play so hilarious. Director Tommi Auvinen has built the play on the conflicts and tensions between friends. Elling has a lot of cinematic elements that work surprisingly well on stage. Rock is playing and the friends are decorating their new apartment as if fast-forwarding. Eppu Salminen and Marjut Toivonen take on supporting roles to kick things up when the pace threatens to slow down. All in all, Elling manages to be both touching and funny at the same time, and somehow you get attached to its characters, even though they are just ordinary crazy people.
