En lille nisse rejste – Christmas show for the whole family

This year, you can join a magical Christmas adventure with Theo the elf – an elf who does not believe he is good at anything. But perhaps he will learn otherwise on his journey? Maybe he will even meet Santa.

The performance takes place at Vejle Musikteater on 19 December at 2 pm and is for the whole family (from age 5).
