Man Flu

Man flu is a terrible illness. It contains plenty of drama, tragedy and comedy—in other words, the full spectrum of life. There are several “What?” questions, even more “What the hell?” questions, and most of all, “How did this end up happening?” questions. Is man flu a myth or a fact? What goes through a middle-aged man’s mind when he finds himself in the Bona aisle of a hypermarket instead of Motonet? What happens when control is lost and life slips out of your hands? How do you make sense of your identity when sometimes even washing your underwear feels overwhelming? Ilari Johansson and Mika Räinä serve up a blend of stand-up and theatre, warmly and humorously exploring a man’s “medical history” and the real origins of man flu, with understanding for everyone assumed to be a man. Man Flu challenges the audience to decide how many lines will appear on the test strip. Directed by Kalle Lamberg. This play is an original production by Linnateatteri.
