”Yesterday I watched the premiere of I Am Alma K in Celje with great interest. The first thing I noticed was that director Jari Juutinen researched the material very well, so that all the information holds water. At the same time, he brilliantly literated, dramaturgically imaginatively conceived and directed an interesting combination of play, dance, video, singing and more. He did almost the impossible with a minimal stage set, with a minimal cast that was literally up to everything: dancing, changing roles, singing, tense dramatic words and eloquent silence. But what impressed me most was that he did not even try to put the entire life and work of this famous world traveler on stage, but rather, with every word in the right place, he dealt with internal conflicts, ambitions, relationships full of longing, with loneliness and people, those rare people who enter our lives as kindred spirits and stay with us for a lifetime, perhaps even longer. I highly recommend seeing and experiencing it.“
