Kris och katastrof i Mumindalen
Comic books come to lifeNote: No longer in repertoire!
Final performances on 21.4 and 22.4!
Moominvalley is abuzz with social trends, each sweeping the residents along before giving way to the next. The Moomin family and their friends experiment with different approaches to life. Should they embrace duty, hedonism, entrepreneurship, fame or psychoanalysis? Or simply hire a maid?
In Tove Jansson’s extensive body of work, her comic strip albums form a world of their own – darker, more adult and more hard-edged.
Kris och katastrof i Mumindalen is a newly dramatised music theatre production based on Tove Jansson’s original comic strips. Jansson’s wonderful comic strip characters are brought to life through Heini Maaranen’s award-winning puppet theatre aesthetic and Jakob Höglund’s imaginative direction.
Moomins for adults? Or children? Or both?
The production follows the more adult storylines and themes of the original comic strips, while also offering a delightful visual and musical feast that children can enjoy – provided they have the patience for a performance lasting just over two and a half hours. Recommended for ages 10 and over.
64 years after the premiere of Troll i kulisserna, the Moomin stories return to Lilla Teatern!
Welcome to Moominvalley as you have never seen it before!
The performance is subtitled in Finnish, Swedish and English via the Subtitle Mobile app. You can download the app free of charge from the App Store or Google Play.

Tove Jansson’s comic strips take to the stage for the first time!
Kris och katastrof i Muumindalen is a music theatre production based on Tove Jansson’s original comic strips. Jansson’s wonderful comic strip characters are brought to life through Heini Maaranen’s award-winning puppet theatre aesthetic and Jakob Höglund’s imaginative direction.
The beloved Moomin characters reflect on existence, identity and the state of the world in true Moomin philosophical fashion – should they embrace duty, hedonism, entrepreneurship, fame or psychoanalysis? Or hire a maid?
In Jansson’s extensive body of work, her comic strip albums form an adult world of their own. The production remains faithful to the original works, but children can also enjoy its visual and musical delights, provided they have the patience for a 2.5-hour performance. Recommended age: 10 and over.
