Kysy siskoilta Musical at Jyväskylä City Theatre

At the heart of the show are true stories—the creators’ own and the experiences of other “sisters”—which reveal the shared emotional landscapes of womanhood with sharpness, humor and tenderness. The musical gives voice to experiences that have been silenced and reminds us: you are not alone. A Facebook post about menopause that inspired the work prompted a flood of comments, which grew into a full-length show about the courage to share and the power of peer support.

The show is directed by Reino Bragge (guest), former director of Jyväskylä City Theatre.
