Synopsis

Characters: male 7, female 5

God's Lover is a play about building up the identity of a generation that worships pictures. The main character who worships his image in the mirror as an icon wishes to build of himself a picture of God modelled on Michelangelo's David. Lover of God deals with the oldest and most painful problems of man's existence. Although "deal with" actually seems unsuitably theoretical here: Parviainen hits, tears, shouts, abuses, pulling out the pain and filth from under ostensibly normal life. His play asks: if man is the image of God, what is God like? Through language Parviainen creates a new type of theatrical expression, thunderous and terrifying, but at the end of the day his character Juska Paarma is much the same as Wagner's Tannhauser.
