Juha Pulli is Theatre Actor of the Year – touring Finland in the award-winning role this spring

The Actors’ Guild awarded Pulli for his musical Murder for Two, in which the actor changes roles even in the middle of a sentence.

The recognition comes directly from Pulli’s colleagues, as the winner was voted for by the members of the Actors’ Guild.

– Pull has an original knack for being at once laconically declarative and flamboyantly restrained. His acting is a celebration of rhythm, comedy and musicality,” says the Actors’ Guild.

Reached by phone, Pulli says that the recognition is particularly warming because he has worked as a freelancer his whole career.

– I have not had a year -long work community, but all work is project -based. The fact that my colleagues give my voice to me to be lucky, the actor says.

The murder for two is the co -production of the Music Theater and the Castle Theater, where Pulli plays several roles. The actor changes the character even in the middle of the sentence.

– Pulli does the role of his life and a musical skill sample. In the same singing bag, he may sing with more characters, and the change is seamlessly and credibly, the reasoning is praised.

According to Pull, the feeling is unique when the role changes can roll.

– The performance is equivalent to a rather hard speed of one and a half hours, he says.

– Two to three hours a day I practiced after the kids had gone to bed.

* Murder for two* musical performances will be seen this spring in Turku, Riihimäki and Hämeenlinna. In Helsinki, the musical will be performed in November-December.

Juha Pulli (b. 1979) has played in recent years at the National Theater, Turku City Theater and Mikkeli Theater. He is currently practicing his next big role at the Kuopio City Theater.

Pulli was awarded at the Thalia in the theater at the Helsinki Group Theater on Monday night.

The Theater Actress of the Year award has been awarded since 2010.
