Hupshj!
A Musical Fish Farce
Hupshj! – A Musical Fish Farce is a production by Thoring Productions.
In Hupshj! – A Musical Fish Farce the audience can join Torres the Salted Cod, Mia the Jellyfish, Bodil the Urchin and Diemitri the Russian King Crab at the bottom of the sea. None of them are satisfied with their lives. But then the ocean scientist Flink (literally: Clever) shows up, and he isn’t nearly as stupid as he looks.
Hupshj! – A Musical Fish Farce was produced in collaboration with the municipality of Stavanger, The Cultural Rucksack and the food festival Gladmat in Stavanger.

"After the first minutes of Hupshj! I thought this was a show for the very smallest, one which adults would have to suffer through to feel as if they were contributing something cultural in the lives of their children. How wrong can one be? I haven’t laughed this well for a long time. The very comical characters are show winners with their madcap interpretations of Finn the Shark, Anemone, Rocking Gunnar, and Ståle the Eel. And the Russian King Crab who is lost in the Norwegian Fishing Zone!"
