Imagine suddenly having a gorilla as your mom!

Bring the kids and do something fun together when the Riksteatret visits the cultural center with a surprising, funny, and heartwarming story about family happiness that comes when you least expect it.

Nine-year-old Jonna has always dreamed of having a mom. One day, an old, dirty Volvo pulls up in front of the orphanage where she lives—and a gorilla steps out of the car. She wants to adopt Jonna, but Jonna is a little unsure. What’s it really like to have a big, shaggy, and crazy gorilla as a mom? And is it true what they say—that gorillas eat little kids?!

“On par with Astrid Lindgren … a heartwarming tale of generous and extraordinary parental love.” Aftenposten (about the book)

In the role of Jonna, you’ll meet Ina Svenningdal (from NRK’s “Linus i svingen” and “Skam”) in a playful and colorful show featuring fun characters and catchy songs that will easily stick in your head.

“Inventive, musically captivating, and full of stage energy”
Vårt Land

"A heartwarming and entertaining children's show (...) like a living pop-up book"
Morgenbladet

Suitable for children ages 5–9, with family and friends.
