The production of Astrid Lindgren’s text is similar to the theme of Romeo and Juliet for children. However, unlike the Shakespearean drama, the story of two hostile families of robbers and a couple in love has a happy ending.

Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is a story about a world split into two irreconcilable halves, about families at odds, unable to communicate and understand each other. But it is also the story of Ronja and Birk, who, although they are children from those two hostile families, despite the hostility and arrogance, learn consideration and respect for each other, learn the laws and order of nature and realize that “you have to have someone by your side in order to endure”, as Astrid Lindgren herself wrote. They recognize and understand the immense value of friendship. Ronja and Birk emerge from the whole dramatic situation with the knowledge that a broken world can be put back together. So they become much more grown up and actually more mature than their fathers.

The theme of the production is an opportunity for us to develop a dialogue with the child audience on the topic of “otherness” and tolerance.

One of the most outstanding personalities of the contemporary Polish music scene, the composer Piotr Klimek, was invited to collaborate.
