Description
Once upon a time, there lived a lonely man in a big city, named Painter Sutinen. “Where could I find a better life?” wondered he.
Aimed at children aged 3–8, Ihmeellinen maalari (The Marvellous Painter) is the latest performance by the award-winning Red Nose Company, co-produced with Lahti City Theatre. It is based on Kaarina Helakisa’s much-loved fairy tale of the same name. The performance emphasises the importance of cooperation and friendship, and suggests that taking notice of those around us is a source of happiness.
Ihmeellinen maalari is a solo piece by Timo Ruuskanen, known from the Red Nose Company’s Mike & Zin duo, that combines clownery, puppet theatre, storytelling and live music to create a beautiful and magical world that both the youngest members of the family and adult audiences alike can enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there!
The performances on 1–3 December at 10.00 are held for early childhood education groups. You can register your group for the free performances at kultus.hel.fi.
Tickets for the performances on 2 December at 17.30 and 12 December at 14.00 are available via lippu.fi at €6 each.
