The
theatre company TVAZZ has performed these plays between 2006 and 2009 at
sold-out performances. Tickets were highly sought after and all the plays
caused public debate—some were awed and inspired, others revolted, and many
thought these plays tore down some tabooed walls.
These
plays dig deep into the human psyche, each in its own peculiar way, some
humorously and pointedly, one is a chamber play between a couple, another a
dream poem, an epos into the darkness of the soul.
We who
perform plays live in a tension, the play is only alive in the moment, in the
darkness, where the story happens right in front of us, here and now, where
everything can happen, be it heaven or hell. And then it is over.
“...and
the rest is silence.” The moment can neither be repeated nor kept. It only
lives on in the mind and heart of the audience – that is, if we are lucky, and
it happens.
Køksdrotningarnar – three old and frail women
bicker about everything. The dialogue flies, rapid-fire; three women, each with
their own desires, secrets and dreams.
Fundamentalisturin – a play about faith – and
hope and love. The playwright Juha Jokela won the Nordic Drama Award in 2008 for
the Fundamentalist.
