Vilmas Vrinsk* (Vilma's Whinny)

Vilmas Vrinsk* (Vilma's Whinny)(1993) was a puppetry production by Cirka Teater.

From the content: Water, foam and soap bubbles drip and splash. The washing lady Vilma is cleaning the theatre. She has always wanted to meet the audience. One day she dallies and eventually her washing wagon is transformed into a stage. Aided by rags, floor mops, water buckets and rubber gloves she creates a puppetry performance.

Vilmas Vrinsk* (Vilma's Whinny) by Cirka Teater introduces a horse whose like has been sine by nobody - he is all blue. A king doesn't know if he is a king - he doesn't dare to make decisions. The wettest circus in the world. A mountain so tall nobody has climbed it.

The blue horse, Hippolos, gallop through the world, searching for another blue horse, to have somebody to be with. Along the way he meets the little king - king Fusius. He has a crown like a king, but nobody to rule. The horse and the king try to travel together. But it's not easy keeping up with a horse's gallop.

And - the other blue horse - the one they are searching for, where is it?

Vilmas Vrinsk by Cirka Teater is a solo performance about being different and doing things one doesn't really dare doing.

Press coverage

Terje Eidsvåg, date unknown, Adresseavisen [Trondheim]:
"A warm and bubbling, or rather scary, production about the power of imagination and about being who one is."

Amund Grimstad, date unknown, Klassekampen [Oslo]:
"Vilmas Vrinsk* (Vilma's Whinny) has become a humorous and warm performance for the family, putting the imagination to work both in children and adults."
