The bear cub just doesn't want to fall asleep, even though trees, birds, hares, bears, and a lynx take turns trying to lull him into hibernation. Children's musician and actor Isa-Eerika Lehto, familiar from television, pilots children and their families through a dramatized performance where classical choir music echoes through an enchanted fairytale forest in a way that inspires and engages children. Chamber Choir Värinä creates the fascinating soundscape of the performance and lives along in every moment.

Can't Sleep! is suitable for children from babies to the early grades of primary school. The performance is experienced without shoes. We kindly ask the audience to arrive about ten minutes before the performance. Unfortunately, latecomers cannot be admitted.
