The Steadfast Tin Soldier! / Wish

– a delightful performance with objects based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Steadfast Tin Soldier”

ballerina for the very first time, he wishes that she were his wife. The tale sends the tin soldier off on a voyage to the bottom of the sea. Only then does his wish come true, but not exactly the way he had imagined…

A humorous and poetic love story for the youngest children, told with the simplest of means: pencils, paper and a pair of scissors. Featuring live acoustic guitar music.

… delightful humour and simple, poetic

”Marvellous Love. In “Wish!” Teatret Lampe invites the youngest audience to some delightful humour and simple, poetic, visual magic played by an immaculate dramatic storyteller. Each of the many characters is given its own voice and personality, making it easy to follow the tale of “The Steadfast Tin Soldier”… ”
