DANCING MOOMINVALLEY – STORYTIME with Suvi Eloranta
Sat 3.10. at 1.15 p.m.
Tove Jansson’s collection of short stories The Invisible Child and other stories was published in 1962. The Invisible Child is one of Tove Jansson’s most beloved stories, and it has also inspired the creators of Dancing Moominvalley.
After reading and listening to the story, we will think about Ninnys story and its themes together. We thought about how Ninny dances when she gets angry and how Ninny expresses her feelings. Do we always dare to show our feelings? And how does the Moomin family manage to help Ninny.
Registration in advance liput@tanssiteatterimmd.fi. Reading time is included in the price of the admission ticket.
The story and discussion is held in Finnish.
