A storied hit You don’t always need a big machine to have a great experience. When Lasse Pöysti performs a monologue written for him by Bengt Ahlfors on Lillan’s stage, the result is definitely a hit. The story of the life of a man living alone in Helsinki is conveyed in a nuanced, exciting and captivating way. The viewer understands the serious message of the play, even though the laughter is still pulling at the corners of the mouth on the way home.

That’s how I see Lasse Pöysti. The respected theatre man may find himself amused by defining himself. In his own books, he has examined the work of an actor, the conscious exploitation of intellect, emotion and instinct that it requires, and mentioned as the “only necessary” in this profession that requires creativity stage authority, prestige, thanks to which the audience not only follows the interpreter, but believes what the interpreter says. “And when you leave the stage, you can be sure that you will be expected back.”

Grandpa looks like an ordinary old man with his brown polo shirt, and the set is just a table and chair, half-open curtains.When the grandfather is Lasse Pöysti and the text is written by the director-director-veteran of the Swedish-language theatre, Bengt Ahlfors of 30 plays, nothing else is needed. The title of the monologue, The Man Who Refused to Use the Elevator , arouses curiosity.

Read moreMAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ELEVATOR AS A MIRROR OF LIFE Bengt Ahlfors tells the story of his play There are three reasons for the completion of Hissvägrare (or the same in a slightly more complicated Finnish The Man Who Refused to Use the Elevator): the problems of the elderly, Lasse Pöysti and his studio building elevator. The monologue written for Pöysti, which the veteran star himself has translated into Finnish and also directed, is most charming An hour and a half drama session.Pöysti captivates us from the beginning and keeps you in control masterfully until the last moments of the story. Ever since she was a child, she has been talking to the elevator in her home There is something extraordinarily endearing in the story of an accustomed man.The elevator has been important to the man also in many other ways than just as a conversation partner. It has transported him to the top floor of the house (when he has), acted as a social as a stage for establishing contacts (or as a means of refusing them). laboratory), etc.The common denominator with the National Play, on the other hand, is that the birthday is an important issue here as well. The protagonist’s birthday is the same as that of megastar Grace Kelly, the late Princess of Monaco, and before that, the and especially the adored blonde beauty of Hitchcock’s films. I sat warmly and almost as if self-indulgent stories, even the most detached ones in the story The subplots come to life and become essential parts of the delicate story.I have very rarely left a monologue performance with a heart as light and in a good mood as now, although there is of course plenty in the story also dark tones and sadness.
