Difficult to read. Tapio Riikonen "Ad astra: Yömaalarin unelma seitsemässä kuvaelmassa" by Larin-Kyösti is a dramatic work likely written in the early 20th century. This play explores profound themes of existence, despair, and artistic struggle through the experiences of the main character, an artist grappling with his turbulent thoughts and relationships. It delves into the deep psychological effects of love, loss, and the haunting presence of death in creative life. The opening portion of the play introduces us to a grim setting known as the "cursed chamber," where the protagonist, referred to as the Taituri (the Artist), awakens in a disoriented state. He dialogues with a fellow inmate who perceives himself as an emotional medium and reveals disturbing truths about their circumstances. The atmosphere is thick with unease as various characters, including the Harmaapukuinen nainen (Grey-clad woman) and the Tumma tohtori (Dark doctor), interject with surreal and often macabre reflections on life and death, foreshadowing the protagonist's descent into despair and his tumultuous past. The narrative juxtaposes artistic aspirations against a backdrop of madness and societal rejection, hinting at the artist's internal conflicts and his longing for connection amidst chaos.
