| Summary |
"1868 ja 1968: Leikkikuvailus lauluilla kahdessa näytöksessä" by August Blanche is a theatrical play likely written in the mid-19th century. The work is a two-act production that discusses themes of truth, memory, and societal change through the lens of characters who navigate their desires and conflicting identities. The main character, Olli Tuuterkaivenius, is a collector of antiquities whose quest for recognition intersects with other characters representing contemporary Finnish society. The opening of the play introduces us to a small room in Tuuterkaivenius's house, adorned with ancient artifacts. The dialogue reveals the tension between Olli and his daughter Ilma regarding his obsession with historical relics. Heimonen, a suitor of Ilma, expresses concern over Olli's sanity as he clings to myths surrounding his discoveries. As the curtain rises, discussions about ancient finds and their perceived value set the stage for a deeper exploration of obsession with the past and the societal expectations placed upon individuals within familial and romantic relationships.
