Performance

Pippi Longstocking

Sit comfortably in your seats, because a red-haired girl with freckles on her face and nose like potato comes to you with bang and crash. Yes, this is she – Pippilotta Victualia Transparent Peppermint Efraim’s Daughter Longstocking, but you can just call her Pippi.

Together with her friends Tommy and Annika and her pet monkey called Mr. Nillson, you will immerse yourself in the world of children’s imagination – where everything is possible. To fly, to become invisible, even if it snows in May. And if you want to stay children forever – look in your closets, drawers and dressers for the magic pill that will keep you from ever growing up. If you can’t find it but you see a pair of different socks, don’t worry about, just put them on!

Bring childhood back!
