Vaimoni, Casanova
Casanova, My Wife is the story of the 60-year old actress Kyllikki Lalla, the wife of Jukka Merenmies, and her return to work in the rehearsals of a play about Casanova, after a long sick leave and allegations of sexual harassment.
Casanova, My Wife is a play about pain, craving for love and a doomed attempt to stay within the limits of reason and good behaviour. It is an erotic comedy about the worn-out mask of a conqueror, through which shines the insecure, hungry, helpless face of its wearer, afraid of ending up alone.
"I have just in case modernized this play with the thought of protecting workplace morale. Kyllikki plays a granny who is totally over fucking. A real gimpy old hag. All the sex there was in Casanova is now played by me. This is a two-person play. Kyllikki is Casanova. I'm s-s-sex."
- Antero Jokinen, 50, theatre cloakroom attendant
