With The Tinder-Box Turnékompaniet has made a buoyant production with sequences of dance and arias. The company claims not to exaggerate when they say that the dogs (the three Kippersund brothers) are very large, that the princess (Sarah Jaggi) is very beautiful, that the witch (Inga Live Kippersund) is very cruel and that the soldier (Henrik Høie) is very heroic.
