Experience Tommy and Annika’s first meeting with Pippi Longstocking
Pippi Moves In is based on the first of Astrid Lindgren’s stories about Pippi Longstocking – a tale created in 1941, when Astrid’s 7-year-old daughter Karin was ill with pneumonia and asked her mother to tell her all about Pippi. A few years later the story was taken up by Rabén & Sjögren, who published it in 1945.
About Pippi moves in
“Our show gives the whole audience a fresh chance to rediscover a legendary, much-loved and incredibly strong girl. Pippi is so much more than an eccentric figure in bold colours. She is Astrid Lindgren’s invention, a gift to her daughter Karin, as well as to other children and really anyone who has ever been a child” Mikael Kallin – Artistic director and stage producer
Performed on weekends and school holidays
Pippi moves in is played on weekends and school holidays in front of Villa Villekulla on the upper level of Junibacken. The performance is performed by Junibacken’s talented children’s ensemble.
It is the contrasts in the first meeting, when two worlds meet – Tommy's and Annika's traditional life situation against the unconventional and free nature of Pippi that we want to portray. And as soon as you put Pippi on a stage, things happen beyond the expected, wild wonderful things!
