Starting 2019 with a bang!
Welcome 2019! Made it to Hollywood already!
My year 2019 starts off with a premiere in The Three Robbers on 9th of February in Kuopion kaupunginteatteri. I will be rocking the stage in three different characters: as a dexterous pastry chef in a costumical spirit of Yayoi Kusama, as a feisty dog-despising ninja cat and as an american born been-there-done-that -type of legend of a parrot. Now this is a play you need to see! The scenery is joyfully clever and the story is all over the place kind of lot of fun - bonkers, but that’s the way we love it!
On the 10th of April I will be delivering the next premiere for your hungry souls. This time we’ll be digging in deep with Federico Garcia Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba. This infrequently performed spanish classic takes us on the edge of madness and lust, it takes us where flamenco runs in the family (and in your veins). This performance is put together by women (only a few male exceptions had to be done) and we are going to take this powerhouse of a play into a new dimension. The House of Bernarda Alba is something that I’m looking forward to rehearse and to play a lot! Blood, sweat and tears ahead!
Then on the rest of the April and May we are starting the rehearsals for yet another show stopper: Cabaret the musical! Can you believe it! I’m going to be kicking some ass as Sally Bowles, the leading lady. Needless to say that I am super excited and beyond thrilled to be pulling this one off! The artistic viewpoints come from Hungary in the form of first-class director Péter Forgács and award-winning choreographer Gergely Csanád Kováts - mega wow wow. I’m going to put all my tricks and treats into this one for sure. Cabaret is hitting the stage in Kuopion kaupuginteatteri on 13th of September 2019. Get your tickets now (this is not a hint, it’s an openly strict order). I need to see you - you need to see me!
I must also mention that in the summertime there will be some epic camera action waiting for me as I’m shooting a series for the national television but of that I will let you know more in a while! Also updates from the life after the last premiere will follow.
2019 looking awesome, huh? A lot of hard work and a lot of fun times to look forward to. Thanks already for joining the adventure!
