During the New Year holidays from December 26 to January 7, 2018, the Army Theater invites children and parents to the play “Niels New Year Travel”. At the beginning of the distant twentieth century in Sweden, one teacher wrote a fairy tale manual on geography for first graders. Life itself with bright colors and adventures entered the dry sand of the school lesson. Then the Tale grew, flew out into the big world and now gives young viewers good and joy.

Everything in life is known by comparison. You were a big boy, and now you have become a little pink. That hens were afraid of you, and now you are defenseless in front of this huge world, where even an ordinary domestic cat has become a dangerous giant. Who will help Nils, how can he become big again? Is it enough to ask for forgiveness for your rude antics from a gnome wizard?

Help is always there. Goose Martin will save his friend by taking him with him on a trip to the distant land of Lapland. The artists of the Army Theater make the children’s performance vivid and memorable. This is a real musical that every minute keeps the attention of restless spectators and makes them empathize with the heroes.

The fabulous journey of a little boy brings up the concepts of good and evil in children, teaches respect for people and animals. The theater lays in the souls of young spectators the most important concepts on which the world stands. The director of the play Andrei Badulin says: “Through trials, dangerous adventures, the initially capricious and spoiled boy becomes kind and responsive, makes friends. Everything is just like in life - only he can become big, who, having passed through the crucible of trials, will return to his home as a man. ”
