Play: Leppäkerttu Pilkuton

Little ladybug Kerttuli sets off on an exploration of the surrounding garden. On her journey, she meets other insects who are puzzled by Kerttuli's lack of spots. Kerttuli becomes sad until she meets an insect who has lost a leg. Nukketeatteri PikkuKulkurin's puppet show 'Leppäkerttu Pilkuton' is based on Niina Belli's children's picture book 'Leppäkerttu ilman pilkkuja'. The show's theme is the experience of being different: why difference is shunned, and how every person is unique and valuable regardless of disability, gender, race, color, nationality, or other factors. The performance features familiar children's songs, and the audience can participate in the play by singing along. The show is best suited for children aged 2–8 and their families. Script, puppets, set design, and performer: Ilpo Mikkonen. Direction and dramaturgy: Teija Paananen. Sound design and song arrangements: Salla-Marja Hätinen.
