Igloo
Igloo takes you on a chilly adventure in Antarctica with Buzika, a brave and wholehearted emperor penguin who gets separated from the colony and takes refuge on an ice floe.
One day Buzika rescues someone from the floating plastic waste – a graceful creature called Böbö. Together they embark on a journey filled with obstacles, overcoming them with the power of imagination and friendship. They meet other inhabitants of the Cold, such as Paau the polar bear, who’s looking for a new home, and all sorts of colorful sea-dwellers. Through their exciting experiences and encounters Buzika and Böbö learn the meaning of true friendship and how to conquer their fears and accept imperfection and diversity.
Echoing its environmental message, Igloo incorporates recycled materials into its stage and costume design.
In the falls of 2022, 2023 and 2024 in Iglu’s commissioned performances, more than 2,000 Tampere 2nd graders see the performance and participate in related dance workshops as part of the Taidekaari cultural education program.
A smooth and flowing synthesis of movement and music. A current topic that is brought up in an understandable way, but not oppressively. It is therefore also suitable for children – as intended.

A great, up-to-date, professionally done performance. It’s wonderful that high-level dance theater is made for children. This performance should be seen by everyone, including adults.
