KULPS preschool & 1.-4. cl., once in a season
and daycare

When a troll loses his bunny friend, he griefs so deeply that even his sweater turns black. The battle for overcoming sorrow starts, emotions run high, the troll has no appetite and laughing makes him feel guilty. As the seasons change, sorrow slowly starts to fade and black pieces come off the troll’s sweater, until there is only one last wistful memory left that will never disappear.

Award-winning puppet theatre show “Suru puserossa” (Darkness of grief) is a beautiful, through-composed story that gives you hope for surviving sorrow. It makes the diverse nature of grief more understandable to children and deals with the difficult subject safely and gently, as if embracing the viewer.
