Dance and theatre for children!
Dance Theatre Raatikko produces high-quality theatre for young audiences. Raatikko has its own theatre in Vantaa, at the Tikkurila Silkkitehdas. Raatikko is also a touring theatre – we regularly set out on the road across Finland, bringing the magic of theatre to schools and kindergartens.
Raatikko’s productions are known for their open-minded combination of different art forms, resulting in energetic and approachable dance art on stage. For many children, a visit to Raatikko is their very first step into the world of art, and we want to make it an unforgettable and inspiring experience.
