Jessikan pentu
The main character from the play Jessica – Born Free is now an adult, a wife, and a mother. But the connection between her family members seems to have been lost, Jessica is plagued by panic attacks, and her yearning to get away from humanity and back to nature is growing ever-stronger. In a last-ditch attempt to piece her family back together, Jessica rents a theatre and, along with her husband, mother, and her therapy dog Jekku, starts creating a performance to show her son how he was supposed to have been raised. But the show just won't come together: the technical problems mount, the dog chases rabbits, and mom needs to use the bathroom. Animal instincts and the desire to flee humanity take an ever-firmer hold over Jessica.
This sequel to the cult play from 2002 strikes bluntly at modern man's addiction to technology and lost relationship to nature. The line between animals and humans dims as the characters wander in their internal woods. Klemola nevertheless shows an opportunity for rebirth and the creation of a new connection.
