The beginning is beautifully harmonious: there is white, black and light yellow in tender different shades. White in clothes and the walls, black in boots and in the decorations of the piano. The candles beam yellow light in which everything basks.

Lauri Maijala is currently directing Chekhov's classic at the Helsinki City Theatre, The Cherry Orchard (Kirsikkatarha), which is premiering 26 of February. Lauri is undoubtedly a very keen and intelligent in terms of theatre and life itself. The world needs more individual thinkers who are ready to tell the truth they see-- whether in theatre or outside of it.

Projections. Massive set designs. Intensive acting. Symbolism. Paavo Westerberg's Three Sisters at the Finnish National theatre is extremely ambitious, a little crazy and might be too much for people with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS).

Love Letters will have its premiere on 29.1. at the Tampere's theatre. I had the honor to meet the charismatic acting duo Seela Sella and Esko Roine! How was the theatre school of 1950-60s different from the theatre academy of nowadays, can anyone become a fairly good actor like Grotowski claims and have their lives gone the way they've planned out?

Niskavuori's Heta is utterly great, captivating and concerted performance that celebrates the importance of the story and text in a play, topped up with flexible, talented actors.

Questions about power and authority; stories of nostalgy; colorful, imaginative and comedic history; romance; music and humor. The 2019 theatreproductions in Finland look promising!

A Doll's house, part 2 (Nukkekoti osa 2) at the Helsinki City Theatre is minimalistic statement, almost a rantlike play, emphasizing the chemistries of the characters, with usage of prop - and sound-details that phase the play and bring more drama on stage.

the Lord of the Rings at the Turku City theatre is just phenomenal and mesmerizing. Every aspect of it is created with huge love and detail. Anyone who has even a small interest to the saga should absolutely go see it!

The Phantom of the Opera at the Finnish National Opera is a great, must see performance of the well-known musical. It's a show with a big budget, something you can't see anywhere else in Finland.

The Swedish theatre of Helsinki brings the story of Hansel and Gretel alive in a joyful way and is genius in its creativity and well timed choreography!

We walk into the auditorium to find seats, to which we gain help: 'Yea yea, this way, there are many seats certainly left over here!' It's the clown whom we saw in the advertisement, shouting with her nasal voice. She is leading us.

All in all 9 good reasons to live is very touching story full of representations of various hapless fates of lives. The play doesn't feed information but leaves space for audiences imagination and own thoughts and interpretations. A possibility to see her own self.

The List is a touching story of a distressed 21st centry woman that teaches that life can be harmonious and charming, if we just could accept it with all its blessings and burdens, all of which we cannot control.

Sara the Black (Musta Saara) at the Finnish National Theatre covers some tough and hard, irritatingly close-by topics: Europe's situation and its Romani people, and of course the darkest pits and sides of a humanbeing. All in all Musta Saara is the spectacle of this Fall. With catchy songs, thought out set of lighting, costumes, great acting and an important storyline, this show shows what the National Theatre can do at its best.
