Jakten på den forsvunne buksa!* (The hunt for the missing pants!) by Radioballetten Productions is a production about not fitting in, about practicing for a math test, about a tiresome flute, a disappeared pair of pants and not least about love. The subject is harassment, but the performance by is very humorous, and the pupils get to experience several strange characters and funny situations as it goes.

At times the actors talk directly to the pupils, and the idea behind is being able to talk about a serious issue in a setting capturing the attention of the pupils.

A post-performance package has been made for Jakten på den forsvunne buksa! by Radioballetten Produksjoner, with a role-play and discussion part. It is appropriate for children aged ten-thirteen.

Press coverage

Trine Styve Varlo, 02.09.2003, Haugesunds Avis [Haugesund, Norway]:
"Tough theatre against harassment! Harassment is a serious issue. Not least for school pupils aged 12 and 13. The two actors of Haugesund Theatre do not point with their pointing fingers, but prioritise to make the pupils wiser. With laughter."
