Review: Kuka kaappasi auringon

“Jokelin’s direction is rhythmically snappy and visually inventive (…).

The music strongly moves the story forward, and the range of styles is delightful: sometimes rocking, sometimes calming down. The different shades keep the performance alive and make it easily approachable for children. The set design and lights build a clear and colourful world where the story comes into its own. Studio Pasila’s intimate stage is well suited for the performance – even a small audience can get close to the events, and the audience was also playfully involved in the events. (…)

It is a pleasure to see that the Helsinki City Theatre also produces full-length and visually finished performances for children. Such works give young viewers the opportunity to experience the magic of theatre in a genuine way – through the interplay of music, story and performers.”
