Dancing Moominvalley is an award winning contemporary dance production which has been touring both in Finland and internationally from 2010. Based on Tove Janssons book "The Tales from the Moominvalley" (1962), Dancing Moominvalley opens the well known themes of her books: invisibility, otherness and difference.
The basis of the visual world of Dancing Moominvalley are the original illustrations of Tove Jansson in the collection of The Moominvalley of the Tampere Art Museum. The world of the illustrations and the tales of Jansson are now interpreted on stage by the means of dance theatre.
The piece is choreographed by Dance Theatre MD’s choreographer Samuli Roininen and the music is composed by Heikki Mäenpää. Dance, music and visual elements such as projections intertwine to interpret the holistic and fascinating world created in Jansson’s tales. Visually spectacular, fully composed contemporary dance production for the whole family has a new approach to the moomins but the themes are familiar to all of us who have read the books.
