Production Teatro di Roma Pippi is cheeky, independent, strong and determined, but also tender and generous. A round character who, to the actress who plays her, is also very physically demanding on the stage as well: Pippi not only sings and dances, but she also scrambles about in her house, swings on a rope like Tarzan, fights thieves who try to steal the treasure she guards, and lifts her horse with her bare hands....Around her are about ten performers who accompany her folly in a jumble of hilarity that, at the same time, is tender and delicate. Music and dance contribute to build an arrangement full of movement, joy, tenderness and reflection. An ideal performance for a young and old audience
