This event has already happened.
Performances:
22–25 October and 30 October–1 November 2026.
With music by Thomas Gunnari Røtting and a script by Håkon Thorsteinsen Nielsen, this family musical weaves together several beloved Norwegian folk tales into one adventure.
As Asbjørnsen and Moe travel the country collecting stories, they meet Espen Arne, who sets out to win the princess's hand. Along the way, they encounter trolls, familiar fairy-tale characters and unexpected challenges, while the princess escapes the castle to find her own path. But as they approach the castle, someone begins to rewrite the fairy tale itself – and suddenly the question is: who will become the true hero?
