"Dancing Moominvalley is a dance production based on The Tales From The
Moominvalley, the sixth book in the popular children’s series by Finnish
writer Tove Jansson. The show is choreographed by Samuli Roininen and
composed by Heikki Mäenpää. It follows the stories of the Moomin family
and adapts the themes of the novel – including friendliness, difference,
and otherness. The performance was featured in the Finnish cultural
program at the 2010 Shanghai Expo where it won the Culture Award. Expect
lots of dancing hippos." Smartshanghai.com
