On Saturday 18.6.2022, in the surroundings of Vihti Summer Theatre, we will search for the inner superhero inside every child and adult by means of various arts.
The cultural services of Vihti municipality, in cooperation with art schools and cultural operators, are organising a children's Super Saturday cultural event for children on 18 June in Vihti church village, around the summer theatre. The event is open to all and free of charge. Gates to the event area will open at 10:00 and activities will end at around 16:00.
To kick off the event at 10 am, Vihti Cinema will host a free screening of the hugely popular detective agency's children's cartoon, Henkka and Kivimutka. The event will conclude at 16:00 with a screening of Disney's music-filled animated adventure Encanto, premiering in late 2021. You can book a seat in the cinema hall in advance at: www.vihdinkino.fi
The day will include the popular children's orchestra Pellekaija Pum. Combining theatre and catchy songs, the "Strike a spark!" programme will teach children about everyday fire safety through songs and games. Milla Paloniemi, a cartoon artist and pony farmer who is particularly known for her cursing hedgehog, will draw funny "power animal caricatures" for free on the spot. What kind of animal do you see yourself as? Let the artist bring your ideas to life!
"Like a Fish in a Tree" by contemporary circus group Blind Gut Company is a circus show about three friends whose lives are full of mishaps and insights. One of them is a distracted spinner, the other a back-and-forth climber and the third a balanced dreamer. Working together is not always easy, as they often pursue the same goal in completely different ways. The show features object manipulation, aerial acrobatics and juvenile dance.
Journey into the world of music - a duo serving up flighty songs and lilting hips. A true superhero is needed to tame Hyi the Mosquito and Tickle the Tickle Day. Rocket Rock and Rock Dog will get you almost flying.
A newcomer to the Vihti theatre scene, Teatteri Nummela and its team give a preview of the musical Night Night Night Games, which will premiere in autumn and is aimed at lyrical families. Children from the Palmu Music School and Musiikkikoulu Vihermaa will bring young energy to the stage with, among other things, beloved theme songs from children's programmes.
During the Children's Super Saturday, children will have the opportunity to awaken their inner superhero through art in various workshops. For example, what a superhero looks like, sounds like and what their motto is!
