Idiotia - ehdotus esitykseksi
 

IDIOTIA - a proposal for a performance is based on Dostoevsky’s classic novel The Idiot. The performance freshly transfers the novel to the present, respecting the uniqueness of the reading experience. The world view of the novel is still relevant today - it is said that the novel is taking place on Doomsday Eve. Also on IDIOTIA's playground, created by Rospuutto-ryhmä, is a group of people who have been broken because of greed for money and power, intrigues and games. One is seeking his integrity; the other is making a consumption party of a lifelong death penalty. As if from nowhere, into this madhouse comes Prince Myshkin in his gaiters - a sincere and pure, good and ideal human. This Christ-like, big child brings hope, change and a possibility of rebirth to his community. He is not able to hate and he cannot stop loving. Can anyone stand this without getting destroyed?  

 

Rospuutto-ryhmä is a professional theatre group founded in 2006. Its aim is to produce performances made with strong artistic ambition and which are internationally remarkable. The performances will also be taken to places beyond the reach of high culture. Rospuutto-ryhmä operates both as a touring group and in its own studio in Kontiolahti.
