Prinsessa Ruusunen – paluu tulevaisuuteen
A classic fairy tale transformedNote: No longer in repertoire!
Every Christmas, the young performers of Shed continue their festive tradition with a musical for the whole family at Studio Pasila.
This time, the Brothers Grimm’s familiar tale of a princess who sleeps for a hundred years undergoes quite a transformation. Prinsessa Ruusunen – paluu tulevaisuuteen playfully blends the traditional fairy tale with a cult 1980s comedy about time travel and its consequences. Prinsessa Ruusunen unexpectedly finds herself transported to the 1970s, surrounded by hippies and punks – at a time when her own parents were just 16 years old.
Based on a version by Chickenshed Theatre (UK), this new adaptation replaces the fairy godmothers with the eccentric teachers of a magical boarding school, who seem to cause more harm than good. The future of the entire kingdom – in other words, the present – hangs in the balance! Meanwhile, Hyvä omatunto and Paha omatunto do their best to keep Prinsessa Ruusunen on the right path, while the wicked Myrtti plots to seize the crown for herself – or at least for her son Martti.
Suitable for the whole family, the musical is a story about growing pains and growing up, taking responsibility and friendship. And also a little about plumbing.
Featuring the young performers of Shed.
Shed-musiikkiteatteri gives children and young people aged 10–19 the opportunity to take part in theatre and create a Christmas musical together with professionals from Helsinki City Theatre.
