Molli and the ends of the earth
On Children's Cultural Saturday, April 25, 2026, the play Molli and the Edge of the Earth will be performed at 11 am and 14 pm at Riihimäki Theatre. Tickets are €17/person.
Based on Katri Kirkkopello's beloved children's book, Molli and the Edge of the Earth is a gentle and hilariously funny children's theater performance about friendship, homesickness, and the courage to enter the world.
Lately, Molli has forgotten to look at the forest beyond the stone fence of her home. She feels strange: her toes are ticklish and her tail is waving wildly. Molli has travel fever!
Molli ja maan ääri, a collaboration between Teatteri Konna and Turku City Theatre, is the work of the same creators as Molli (2015), Molli ja kumma (2018), and Mollistavi mietteitä (2021), which have delighted their audiences many times.
The premiere of the performance Molli and the Edge of the Earth was on the Sopukka stage of the Turku City Theatre on January 22, 2025.
Age recommendation: 3-10 years old
Further information and ticket reservations From the Riihimäki Theatre website Molli and the ends of the earth.
