Riksteatret: Apestjernen

About Riksteatret: Apestjernen

Nine-year-old Jonna has always dreamed of having a mother. One day, an old, dirty Volvo pulls up in front of the children's home where she lives – and out steps a gorilla. She wants to adopt Jonna, but Jonna is a bit uncertain. What is it really like to have a big, shaggy and wild gorilla as a mother? And what if it's true what they say – that gorillas eat small children?!

Bring the children and have fun together when Riksteatret visits the cultural center with the theatrical version of Frida Nilsson's surprising, funny and moving children's book – a warm story about family happiness that happens when you least expect it. No families are alike.

In the lead role as Jonna you will meet Ina Svenningdal (from NRK's Linus in the Curve and Skam) in a playful and colorful performance with funny characters and songs that easily get stuck in your head.
