Through the naïve spectacles of a clown The Outsider observes people, technology, the use of alcohol and the consumption craze of earthlings from an outsider'ʹs perspective. Can the Outsider solve the problems he encounters, or is the modern way of life simply too much for him? The Outsider is a fairy-­‐‑tale for adults where theatre and film go hand in hand. The show combines stage clownery, magic, modern technology and various special effects. It leans on the visual language of the silent films of Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton while blending all the elements into a contemporary format – in a full colour 4D version! The Outsider is Janne Raudaskoski'ʹs second solo production for theatre. JANNE RAUDASKOSKI The author of The Outsider, the actor and screenwriter, Janne Raudaskoski, is a Finnish magician and performer. As a Finnish and Nordic champion in magic, he has worked as a professional magician since 1997. Recently he has worked in several art projects combining new circus, theatre and magic. Raudaskoski has also played the protagonist in plays such as Werewolf (2009) in The City Theatre of Lappeenranta and Phantom of Theather (2007) in Åbo Svenska Teatern. 4 MODERN INNOVATIONS IN STAGE ARTS Janne Raudaskoski calls The Outsider'ʹs mosaic of entertainment and stage arts an experiential theatre concept. Using methods familiar from films, sets and scenes can be changed at the blink of an eye; time can be reversed and accelerated, video effects and camera tricks can be used in combination with traditional magic and special effects. Raudaskoski'ʹs work employs giant plasma displays capable of "ʺimmersing"ʺ a person, and the displays are, in turn, used in age-­‐‑old magic tricks. As the end result one actor is able to play several roles – or clone himself into several copies. DVD available. 5 REVIEWS “The Outsider examines our lifestyle and reaches to the core of our fundamentally violent nature. The script is concise and executed in a fluid, flowing style. The stage set consists of two video displays and a door – nothing more. The character played by Raudaskoski dives in and out of the electronic images in a way that almost makes one forget they are video recordings. What emerges as the most miraculous element of The Outsider, however, is Janne Raudaskoski'ʹs ability to adapt to the numerous different roles. But I will say no more – everyone is strongly advised to go and see the performance for themselves!” Review in Finlands leading newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, September 2011 “The whole performance is pure magic. The real Janne Raudaskoski and his video pals are so exactly in sync that it is simply amazing. With its duration of little more than sixty minutes, The Outsider packs quite a punch considering its lean proportions. And although the protagonist spends much of his time being puzzled by mysteries of modern human existence, the show also has its share of moments filled with pure joy.” Review in newspaper Turun Sanomat, February 2012 "ʺWe just came from the premiere of The Outsider! What a wonderful performance! Very demanding to the performer but executed with supreme skill! It found exactly the right balance between provoking new thoughts and being entertaining. It is a theatre production that really stands out – a wonderful fairy tale for adults! Warmly recommended for all grown-­‐‑ups!"ʺ Audience feedback in Espoo City Theatre, Espoo Cultural Centre, Louhi Hall, September 2011 “Hi! I simply cannot resist writing! I cannot remember when was the last time I laughed out loud in a theatre, gasped in amazement and shouted ‘Bravo!’ in the end. Thank you for bringing The Outsider to Turku. We (five adults) enjoyed it so much! And it was great to see even a noisy bunch of teenagers who had come with their school fall silent to watch the spectacle.” Audience feedback in Linnateatteri theatre, Turku city, February 2012 6 TECHNICAL RIDER This rider is part of the engagement contract.
