The renowned professional theatre, specialising in theatre clownery, has been performing in Finnish since 2005. Strömsö offers an escape from reality and happy endings, and in this performance, the clowns also sing opera for the first time in the history of the Red Nose Company. The play will premiere on May 13 at Lilla Teatern, where it will be performed five times before going on tour in the fall of 2025.
