She is a bimbo. Her name is Bimbo. She uses good skincare products, wears good clothes, shoots good videos. She can swing her hips real good too. She thinks about herself, but those aren’t always good thoughts. She doesn’t think it’s bad if she is not loved. She doesn’t know what to think if she’s just another photo on your iPhone.
The up-and-coming Finnish director Minna Lund, hailed as one of the most visible and compelling theatre-makers of her generation, turns her attention to the life of Mona Lisa of the Instagram age. Working with a Latvian-Finnish creative team, the result is a moving, fondly ironic look at tears, ageing and loneliness – and above all, the attempts to solve it all with silicone.
The production is a collaboration with Espoo City Theatre (Espoon teatteri) and Oulu City Theatre (Oulun teatteri). A Finland tour is scheduled for March and April 2027.
