This is Not a Show (2024)

Professor Bjub and the Bear are alter egos of Suvi’s and Dash’s solo works. In This is Not a Show they clash for the first time in a performance setting as a flamboyant duo. During the 35-min show Professor Bjub, a silly know-it-all academic, and Prince Kefir, a traveling serious bear-clown trained by the Professor gather the crowd by entertaining them with tricks and stories. There is a suspence because the Bear is the biggest Bjub’s asset - in the right conditions they can show a “million euro” trick enough for Bjub to become rich forever. But can Bjub make the Bear do it? Bjub vs Bear game count begins...
 
In this work we embrace our own silliness and bring corky feminist and queer humor into the work that is suitable for adults, youth and children. The work was made for Myyrmäki public square as a part of One-Day Stand event of Other Side Vantaa project.
