Suojan Stand Up Club: Jukka Rasila – PERSONAL

PERSONAL doesn’t settle for making you laugh; it shakes you up. “This show is a gem and changes people. Go and experience it.” How can the last straw, two dogs, 300,000 cigarettes and future archaeologists all be part of the same story? And what do divine intervention, testicle vests, Minna Canth and Avara luonto mean when they come together in a discussion about equality, power and how the roles we have learned to play guide us? “I saw Rasila’s stunning show, which moved me on many levels.” PERSONAL is a funny, bold and sharp journey into burdens passed down through generations, and into how we treat not only ourselves but also one another and other species. Should we look in the mirror instead of taking selfies, and ask what kind of world we want to live in? What will people of this era think when we are eventually dug up as fossils? “Topical, important, moving. Thank you for being a role model for men, young people and us women too. We can all change.” PERSONAL offers joyful insights, rough-edged humour and thoughts that linger and give you something to chew on. That’s why it hits you in the heart as well as the ribs. This is not just stand-up—this is PERSONAL. Written by: Jukka and Mirva Rasila. On stage: Jukka Rasila. Approx. 2 hours, including an interval.
