BERTRANDIN KOHTAUS

11.3. - 1.4.2022 Hit Helsinki, cable factory, Helsinki

“Bertrandin kohtaus” is and absurd and minimalistic performance about idleness. The performance connects puppetry and physical theatre and tells a story of Bertrand, who has been sroke by a sudden and mysterious disease. He cannot move, and tries to comprehend the accelerating, chaotic world around him. The humoristic performance is looking at our world from the point of view of an outsider. The text has been written by a French playwright Émilie Leconte and translated to Finnish by Sanna Kangasluoma.

“Näyttelijöiden taitavuutta voi kiittää ihanan oudon ja unenomaisen tunnelman luomisesta”.

“Taipale oli valinnut Bertrandin esitettäväksi nukkena, mikä oli tosi hieno idea.
Iloitsen niin suuresti, että Bertrandin kohtaus pääsi näyttämölle näin mietityllä tavalla.”
- Heidi Backström IG
