Rino og den magiske fløyten* (Rino and the magic flute)
In Rino og den magiske fløyten* (Rino and the magic flute) by The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne we meet Rino.
One summer, while visiting his grandmother, Rino is given a treasure map for his birthday. The map takes Rino all around grandma's house, down in the basement, behind the stairs and up to the dark attic. His treasure hunt ends at grandpa's old travel chest. In it Rino finds a beautiful little flute. While grandma takes a nap after dinner, Rino goes into the forest to try the flute.

Rino og den magiske fløyten* (Rino and the magic flute) by The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne:
Rino sits down under the grand oak, puts the flute to his lips and starts blowing. At first, it sounds quite horrible. But soon enough, beautiful tones come out of the small instrument.
Then suddenly a wizard appears, saying: "You have played the five magic tones. Now you are the master of the flute and will have three wishes granted!"
It can be smart to think for a while before making one’s three wishes, and what is better than taking a walk when you need to think?
And in the forest behind grandma's house the strangest things may happen...
Rino og den magiske fløyten is based on Anne Regine Kayser's beautiful musical fairytale. The story is told using puppets, music, humour and the joy of storytelling.
