Ilta näyttelijän kanssa

In 1981, Louis Malle created the unforgettable film My Dinner with André, where a series of questions about the essence of human existence unfold through everyday situations and the dialogue between an actor and a director. Timo Torikka, on the other hand, crafted the memorable performance Ilta näyttelijän kanssa (An Evening with the Actor). The difference is that he engages in a dialogue alone, with himself.

Reality and theater blend, offering a deeply personal insight into both the actor himself and his profession. At the same time, the fascinating toolkit of an actor opens up in a rare and intriguing manner. It contains various elements and aspects. The focus isn't on how to act, but rather on what and why to act. The answer to this question evolves over the course of life and career.

The performance filled Espoo's libraries to the brim in early 2023. Due to popular demand, Ilta näyttelijän kanssa is now returning for one more night.
