Moominvalley Storytime: The Last Dragon in the World<\/strong> <\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Moomin 80 – Svenska Teatern joins the celebrations by hosting theatrical storytelling sessions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, Moomintroll finds a small dragon \u2013 the very last one in the world. He takes it home to Moominvalley, determined to love and cherish it. But the dragon doesn\u2019t love Moomintroll. It only loves Snufkin. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the publication of the first Moomin story. Svenska Teatern joins the celebrations by hosting theatrical storytelling sessions, where actors Hellen Willberg<\/strong> and Greta Lignell \/ Vivi Lindberg <\/strong>read and enact scenes from Tove Jansson<\/strong>\u2019s beloved Moomin story.

The Last Dragon in the World explores what it\u2019s like to feel disappointed \u2014 and how to deal with those emotions \u2014 in a playful and accessible way. 

The story is told in Swedish, but visual elements are playfully incorporated to include non-Swedish-speaking visitors. We use supporting phrases in spoken Finnish throughout the story.  The actors use Moomin plush toys to enact the story, which, in combination with the atmospheric set and lighting design, conveys the plot and themes in a way that is easy to follow \u2013 even if you don\u2019t speak Swedish! Children and adults alike are welcome to familiarise themselves with the story before their visit. All ticket holders will receive an English summary of the story (including some key Moomin terminology) by email before the event.

The event welcomes children aged 4 and up, and is part of the City of Helsinki\u2019s Culture Kids project.
