Here is a new story from the fantastic and world-renowned Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. With her works, such as the famous novel Pippi Longstocking, she left an indelible mark on children’s literature worldwide.
In a story called Ronja—the Robber’s Daughter, we enter a new world of robbers, mushroom elves, wild forests, and adventurous landscapes. Two children are building their lives between warring rivals, two gangs. Two kids from different marauding clans embark on a completely different adventure. Their story is a story of friendship and a strong bond between two pure souls.
Gorjan Miloševski, dramaturge
N.I. CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH THEATRE, SKOPJE, NORTH MACEDONIA
The Children’s and Youth Theatre is the only national theatre in the Republic of North Macedonia specialising in children and youth programmes. It was founded on February 2nd, 1990, by a government decision. The first time the curtains were lifted in front of an audience in Skopje was on March 25th, 1990. Since then, the theatre has been creating fairy tales with a different, cheerful, and magical spirit and plays for teenagers, young people, and adults. It plays a major role in the artistic and cultural upbringing of the youngest, thanks to the daily contribution of the ensemble, the management, and the entire theatre team, all under the financial cap of the Ministry of Culture.
The theatre’s repertoire is particularly diverse. Performances are played on stage in a contemporary rhythm and spirit, from puppet shows and performances for children to full-length plays for young people. For over two decades, we have reached out to young people through themes, fiction, events, and issues in their lives.
