    Two trolls feeling misunderstood. They’ve been historically villainized, but what would we learn if we listened to their perspective? A comedy about being an outsider and the pursuit of beauty.

    Two trolls feeling misunderstood and misrepresented. Terrified of goats and turning to stone. Trolls have been historically villainized and exposed in popular culture, but what would we learn if we listened to their perspective? A comedy about being an outsider and the pursuit of beauty.

    Inspired by Scandinavian folklore, this feel-good show presents two clowns on roller skis in the forest. A mashup of classical music, parkour, fairy tales, audience interaction, delicious goat cheese and clowning.

    From the award-winning and “hysterically funny” (Scenekunst.no) creators of Naughty Cabaret.

    Directed by Cecily Nash.

    “It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
