Experience Tommy and Annika’s first meeting with Pippi Longstocking
Pippi Moves In is based on the first of Astrid Lindgren’s stories about Pippi Longstocking – a tale created in 1941, when Astrid’s 7-year-old daughter Karin was ill with pneumonia and asked her mother to tell her all about Pippi. A few years later the story was taken up by Rabén & Sjögren, who published it in 1945.
About Pippi moves in
“Our show gives the whole audience a fresh chance to rediscover a legendary, much-loved and incredibly strong girl. Pippi is so much more than an eccentric figure in bold colours. She is Astrid Lindgren’s invention, a gift to her daughter Karin, as well as to other children and really anyone who has ever been a child” Mikael Kallin – Artistic director and stage producer
Performed on weekends and school holidays

It is the contrasts in the first meeting, when two worlds meet – Tommy's and Annika's traditional life situation against the unconventional and free nature of Pippi that we want to portray. And as soon as you put Pippi on a stage, things happen beyond the expected, wild wonderful things!
