The Story Safari puppet theatre performance. Where our story takes us, the sky is high like the moon and the earth is red like a fox's fur. Where our story takes us, you can hear the song of flamingos and the trumpeting of elephants. This colourful and musical puppet theatre performance takes the audience to the African savannah, where they'll meet a giraffe, a hippopotamus, a turtle, and more. The performance is based on stories told in Africa and around the world. With the help of ants, they escape great trouble, and even the smallest can overcome a powerhouse with their cleverness. Script: Ilpo Mikkonen. Direction and puppets: Rainer Kaunisto. Duration: 30 minutes. Photo: Ilpo Mikkonen.
