Risto Räppääjä ja Nuudelipää (Ricky Rapper and Noodlehead)
A sweet love letter written by Risto Räppääjä’s aunt Rauha winds up in the wrong hands. After that, a series of misunderstandings and blunders begin, and the new neighbouring girl Nelli and her cat Alpo will also get entangled in the mess! Everything that happens before it all gets cleared up will be seen in the show.
This AB Dance Company production is for the whole family! It shows how the friendship between Risto Räppääjä and Nelli Nuudelipää all started. The central theme of the story is friendship and how significant it is to feel accepted and important.
This performance, choreographed by Marjaterttu Willman, directed by Tiina and Sinikka Nopola, and based on the play Risto Räppääjä ja Nuudelipää is full of dance, mime and music!
