On Today’s Menu: BULLYING

Legioonateatteri

Legioonateatteri’s performance tackles bullying on all levels and in all its forms!

Why do we bully each other? At school. At home. At work… Does putting someone else down raise our own self-esteem?

    “Here you see the safety post. More familiarly, ‘Turvis’. Turvis is the tireless assistant of the recess supervisor.”
    (Recess supervisor Anttonen to the students)

Bullying also happens on a broader scale:

    “By the time a human manages to remove themselves from this planet, the rest of creation breathes a sigh of relief. The worst bully is gone.”
    (Biology teacher Aki Nakkila)

This performance has been created and written collectively, based on the actors’ personal experiences related to the theme of bullying and on improvisations. The piece is directed and dramatized by director-playwright Timo Seppälä.
