How are you aware the tales of greek mythology properly? Do you bear in mind what occurred to Ariadne, Icarus, Theseus and different heroes of historical fables?

of the Kuuma ankanpoikanen group Ariadne – A Mess -in the present, you don’t have to recollect each twist of the fables, of which there are additionally a number of totally different variations. As a result of though historical fables play an necessary half, they don't type a reminiscence recreation.

Above all else, they reside by what they imply to the performer, the teller of the story being carried out Merja Pöyhönen. The place to begin is a search, honesty within the face of 1’s personal instinct and one’s personal discoveries, however as one can anticipate from a Scorching Duckling, not with out twists which are immediately flawed and fire up the viewers. As a result of fables and the concepts baked into them about folks and artistry – about whether or not it’s price attempting, whether or not you'll be able to defy destiny and the patriarchy, and so forth – are additionally shackles.

Finnishness, Europeanness, myths and fables of our personal and international tradition are woven Ariadne – A Mess – into a large number that proceeds with the logic of free jazz. The whole lot is feasible when you understand the instrument properly sufficient. A scorching duckling is aware of.

Pöyhönen can also be identified to be a grasp puppeteer. Now, as a voice actor and in his whole bodily expression, he's much more skillful, relaxed and exact. A big gallery of characters dances in entrance of the viewer’s eyes all through the present in circulate mode, and there's not a hint of overprinting.

Teos is about in movement by the narrator’s youthful reminiscence, when he wakes up drunk from a Greek seashore. Quickly the seashore seaweed seems to be a determine bringing messages from Dionysus, the god of theater and wine.

There's an tailored model of Ariadne’s story, the place Ariadne takes flight and searches for her place on this planet. Theseus is each the anti-hero of Ariadne’s fable and the narrator’s Greek boyfriend. Lastly, the narrator stares into the sky on the Ariadne constellation. The wealthy mixture of cultures and identities as a substitute of defining them makes the work offered in English worldwide in its personal means. Naturally, with out courtship.

Presentation tangibly wraps itself within the setting and characters into clumps and piles of thread, however on the identical time its metaphysical stage, on which Ariadne’s thread leads out of the knots of life, is getting stronger on a regular basis. Though, as ironic as it's, Ariadne’s ball of yarn, which is usually foisted on the characters, doesn’t actually appear to guide wherever.

I dare say that Ariadnessa the group has taken a step in direction of an much more free and open stage and dramaturgical pondering. There's something a bit drunk concerning the efficiency, as befits Dionysus, often known as the god of wine. On a regular basis we're in an excessive state of affairs, feelings fluctuate and issues are mentioned too instantly. How addictive!

Essi Santalan in mild conditions there will not be too many options, however the imaginative and prescient is evident. Antti-Juhani Manninen songs that describe Finnishness within the composition, akin to Konevitsa church bells typically combine into a loud soundscape, from which you can begin winding your personal path by the labyrinth of Finnishness.
