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.

Yläkoulukino: A Light That Never Goes Out (12) – Film screening for school groups

“How many people from Rauma have made a record that will one day be sent into space?” Pauli (Samuel Kujala), a classical flutist, returns to his small Finnish hometown to recover after a breakdown. Unable to play, he feels like a failure. Pauli runs into Iiris (Anna Rosaliina Kauno), who makes experimental music by herself. Iiris starts persuading him to try and make some music together, and she’s convinced that by joining forces, they’d be able to create something completely new and unique. Pauli, who has always sought perfection, is drawn to her chaotic energy and finds comfort in their sonic experiments. The film won a total of seven Jussi Awards, including in the categories of Film of the Year, Best Director and Best Screenplay (Lauri-Matti Parppei), Lead Actor of the Year (Samuel Kujala) and Breakthrough Performance of the Year (Anna Rosaliina Kauno). You can find learning materials related to the film via Koulukino (in Finnish). The learning material is aimed at general upper secondary schools and other upper secondary education institutions. Themes in the learning materials: experimental music, sound art, art, artistry, friendship, self-destruction, resources. Register your group via kultus.hel.fi.
