Kuka nukkuu koiranunta? is a musical fairytale for the whole family that teaches children not only to deal with their own feelings, but also to empathize with the feelings of others. In a workshop related to the performance, children also get to make art themselves, and their works will be compiled into a virtual art exhibition by the end of February. Tukkateatteri will tour over ten municipalities in Pirkanmaa during February.

The month's program includes many other interesting and inspiring cultural events produced by private actors, colleges, cultural centers and municipalities in Pirkanmaa. 

Please note that changes to the program are possible. Follow the event communication.
