A fresh interpretation of the beloved Christmas classic by Pori Dance Company and Pori Sinfonietta.
On Christmas Eve, the toys come to life and gather in a gingerbread house. We discover a rag doll longing for bones inside her, an action hero paralyzed by fear and suffering from burnout, and a plush bunny rebelling against everything with teenage fury. Christmas celebrations are about to derail – until a guardian angel steps in…
The new Nutcracker filled the halls last autumn, and now it returns to Promenadisali at the perfect time for holiday parties.
