Puppet theater for children
It's hot in Moominvalley. So hot that Moomin gives himself time off and can do nothing but be.
Two windy explorers come along the way and sell the Moomin family wondrous flower seeds from shady jungle plants and distant fruits. A little shade would be nice, so the Moomin family plants the miracle seeds. And lo and behold: the dry Moomin valley turns into the purest mangrove thicket. But that's not all: wild animals are suddenly roaming through the undergrowth and causing chaos. Only the lord of the jungle can help: Moomin! He's no longer free from the heat, but has his paws full.
A production based on the story by the Finnish-Swedish author Tove Jansson. With her Moomin roles, she invented wonderful creatures that make us humans laugh and think.
Play length: approx. 45 min.
Suitable from 4 years
