PIZZA PIZZA KARAGÖZ

Reserve a ticket: https://forms.gle/dzXioG9BuLuEN89R9

A traditional Turkish puppet theatre, nearly 700 years old, takes the stage combining traditional and modern styles. Karagöz and Hacivat are the two main characters. The story is as follows:

Karagöz is unemployed, as always, and Hacivat finds him a job. Karagöz takes orders in a pizzeria. The orders are made in different languages and the customers have various special requests. Karagöz gets all the orders wrong and things become a mess. How can order and harmony be restored?

This is a performance about coexistence which uses pizza as the metaphor.

]]> Training / Workshops https://www.myllyteatteri.fi/en/training-workshops/ Mon, 05 Nov 2018 14:03:56 +0000 https://www.myllyteatteri.fi/harjoittelu-ja-workshopit/ Suzuki Method was created and developed by Japanese theatre director Tadashi Suzuki and his company Suzuki Company of Toga. Its primary concern is to restore the wholeness and expressiveness of the actor’s body through rigorous physical discipline. The training is meant to heighten the actor’s emotional and physical power onstage. Great attention is on strengthening the lower body and sharpening breath control and concentration.

In addition to Suzuki Method, the Viewpoints-tecnic developed by Anne Bogart and the SITI Company has give us a lot. Moreover, we are open to various training methods and techniques that are suitable to the need of the production and the actors. In the next production singer and voice trainer Pia Skibdahl trains with us.
