“Life is not always idyllic, life is at its most realistic a series of wishes that go unfulfilled. ”
There is a perception of a constant contradiction between life and dreams Miika Nousiainen novel Surface renovation (2020) from the mouth of Henna, who is in pain with infertility. This contradiction has been successfully grown down to the stage in the National Theater’s interpretation of Nousiainen’s book.
In general, however, the interpretation of the great stage is, like Nousiainen’s work, shamelessly romantic; everyone eventually gets each other, of course after relentless mixing.
All of Miika Nousiainen’s works have found their way to the theater stage.
Became a hit debut Raspberry boat refugee received its theatrical premiere at the COM Theater in 2011. Performed at the National Theater Maaninkavaara in the year 2011 Minna Leinon as an arrangement and guidance, Forest giant 2013 and Root canal treatment very fresh in 2016, both Alexis Meaney interpretations.
Now, for the first time, Nousiainen’s work is directed Irene Aho, smooth dramatization by Minna Leino.
In the dramatizations of the books, the question arises as to what added value the interpretation of the work can bring to the theater format. Unfortunately, also the question of whether the debut play had to make room on the stage for the dramatization of the hit book. From the point of view of the theatrical marketing logic, the answer is, of course, clear: the audience is already ready. And it gets exactly what it has ordered.
After these marginal remarks, it should be noted that the National Theater Surface repair is a very smooth, entertaining and well-done theater in its genre.
Nousiainen describes often family in their works. Even now, family, or really family longing, is at the center of the show. The novel can also be credited with depicting men in a nice non-standardized way.
At the center are three buddies, all of whom are sore around the theme of caring. Juha Variksen sympathetically interpreted by the protagonist, Sam’s biological clock doesn’t tick, it screams in red. Every woman who arrives makes Sam hear the ringing of wedding bells.
Ask Nikkilä interpreted dandinally, Markus is a tired single parent of three children. The third representative of the trio of friends is Heikki Pitkänen a down-to-earth Pesonen who acts as a caregiver for her parents.
Damaged Rage Henna (Annika Poijärvi) is Sam’s infertility sister, and Sam’s widowed mother, Seijaa, presents herself in a somewhat atypical, soft register advancing Tiina Weckström.
In the book itself the well-being blogger of the Pintaremontti website has been nicely integrated into the story Katri Renton through stratified staging. Katja Küttnerin a perfectly absurdly drawn blogger character dominates individuals striving for happiness and harmony from above like an angelic annoying superior.
Before houses and the welfare state were built, today an image is being built.
From time to time, through music and dance numbers (including the Ultra Bra version!), The most delicious situations of the grand stage’s interpretation of entertainment for entertainment are offered by Sami, who is constantly tangled in his white lies, and Markus, sailing in the middle of childhood chaos.
In dramatization, the part that came under the cutter has become the fate of Pesonen’s character.
Auli Turtiainen even in great costumes, the very pink end is already approaching a parody of chicklit. The plastic bag hovering from the apartment building to the ground gave small indications of the more voluntary and in-depth interpretation I longed for. American Beauty The famous scene borrowed from the movie was reminiscent of the beauty of small moments.
