The production Mini mini minst* (Mini Mini Most Minimal) by Samovarteateret is about how we have all been the smallest at one point of time. Everybody has felt the triumphant joy of being the smallest and win over something bigger than one is – and everybody who has met a real Pudding monster has wanted to blow it off the surface of the Earth and so far out in the galaxy as possible.

Mini mini minst deals with the trivial events seemingly innocent and safe, but really, for the smallest, they are giant enormous puttering vulcanos and they can grow into the biggest disasters if they aren’t handled right. It is about getting through an ordinary day where dangers lure. If one is the smallest, one has to find smart solutions to get the biggest share of the cake or to not have to tie one’s own shoe laces. But how long can one count on being the smallest? Being the smallest one day, and then the largest and the sheriff the next can be a challenge to everyone.
