The absurdly fascinating humor straight from Finland, known for its wintery darkness and summery light, where people neither talk, kiss nor laugh out loud. The bold and hot-blooded Mona Ray conjures up both therapeutic as well as hysterical and infectious laughter.
“Don’t run – rush” features four different pictures of reality in its most absurd forms. A one-woman show where the viewer is never safe. The feeling of danger brings that extra spice to this comedy act where the recipient gives and all is taken. In this presentation, believe it or not, the audience really wants to participate! Come along and experience Mona’s incredible characters!
