Aunt Rauha's syrupi love letter ends up in the wrong hands, setting off a chain of misunderstandings and mishaps. The mix-up soon entangles the new neighbor girl Nelli and her cat Alpo. What all takes place before things are finally cleared up will be revealed in the performance.

In Aurinkobaletti’s dance theatre production for the whole family, the friendship between Ricky Rapper and Nelli Noodlehead begins to blossom. The story highlights the importance of friendship and how crucial it is to feel accepted and valued.

The show, choreographed and directed by Marjaterttu Willman and based on the play adaptation of Tiina and Sinikka Nopola’s Ricky Rapper and Noodlehead, is filled with dance, mime, and music!
