Topsyturvy

The story of this musical written for children takes place in a small town in fairy-tale land. One beautiful morning the parents, perhaps because of feeling offended, or perhaps for educational reasons, leave their children behind on their own. Following a short interval of astonishment, the kids take possession of everything, turning everything upside-down. They break all the windows, set up an Indian camp, fight a battle with whipped cream, loot stores. One of the children falls down with his parachute made of an umbrella. Soon they run out of food and supplies of electricity, water and services break down. There is no doctor. Only a small dwarf-clown attempts to establish order again, but his efforts, in the beginning, are torpedoed by the raging children. Yet everything turns for the better in the end, and the carnival is put an end to by the return of the parents. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
