Once upon a time, there lived a lonely man in a big city, named Painter Sutinen. “Where could I find a better life?” wondered he.
Aimed at children aged 3–8, Ihmeellinen maalari (The Marvellous Painter) is the latest performance by the award-winning Red Nose Company, co-produced with Lahti City Theatre. It is based on Kaarina Helakisa’s much-loved fairy tale of the same name. The performance emphasises the importance of cooperation and friendship, and suggests that taking notice of those around us is a source of happiness.

Ihmeellinen maalari is a solo piece by Timo Ruuskanen, known from the Red Nose Company’s Mike & Zin duo, that combines clownery, puppet theatre, storytelling and live music to create a beautiful and magical world that both the youngest members of the family and adult audiences alike can enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there!
