Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Canzio; Selman juonet" by Aleksis Kivi is a dramatic play likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Canzio, a young naval officer, and his intertwined relationships with several characters, including his sister Rachel, his fiancée Mariamne, and others caught in a backdrop of familial love, loyalty, and desire, set against the picturesque yet tumultuous landscape of Italy. At the start of the play, the stage is elegantly set in a region near Canzio’s ancestral castle where the characters are anxiously waiting for his return after a long absence. Rachel and Mariamne express their deep anticipation and worry about Canzio, fearing for his safety amid mentions of pirates and treacherous seas. As they converse, the audience is introduced to the bond between the sister and her brother, alongside the themes of fate and fortune. Canzio does eventually arrive, but his heart is complicated by feelings for another woman, setting the stage for tension and emotional conflict that explores the depths of love and the burdens of duty.
