Children’s play “Jäpe and Tibu’s crystal cup”

One town has won the coveted crystal cup, an award for impeccable order and the complete absence of crime. Peace reigns in the town, and its residents are convinced they live in the safest place in the world. But one day something unexpected happens: the crystal cup is stolen.

Fear and suspicion creep into the town. Is a cunning thief at work beneath the calm surface? Was the town not really what everyone thought it was?

Tibu, an artist, musician and self-appointed private detective, takes up the investigation. Alongside him works his pupil Jäpe, who comes from Missomassomaa. Together they set out to follow the clues, diving into the hidden layers of the town and its residents’ secrets.

Will Tibu and Jäpe manage to catch the thief? Can the culprit really be someone from among the town’s own people?

Through exciting twists and humorous moments, the production takes the audience on a journey that raises important questions: what really matters in life? Money, friendship, family, respect or love?

The answers will be revealed at the theatre.
