A string of short poetic sketches illustrate moments in a little person’s world.
Mommy and Daddy. Grandma and Grandpa, a snail and a tree by the side of the road. Kindergarten filled with little friends, a bicycle, a small bed and a nighttime story. An umbrella and the hope for rain…
It is the story of a little person in a big world, woven in a universe abundant with memories and the joy of recognition. Held in the beauty of these moments, a cozy and safe feeling envelops us, as the poetic story takes shape through music, lighting, sound, puppets and objects.
Theater My ́s calm and poetic style is the source for this theatre experience dedicated to little people. Little people on their journey into the world.

The audience says:
“Little Steps” became my daughter’s theater visit ever. She didn’t take her eyes off the stage for one second, every move, every word was swallowed. I’m simply so impressed with the performance, with light, sound, water, tand how it hot home with all the kids, and as a mother of a real tomboy, I have to take my hat off for the calmness you spread. 1000 thank you’s for the experience, we will definitely return! “
“My whole childhood returned in glimpses. My son was absorbed from start to finish and is still talking about buns with butter and cold chocolate.” Little steps “is a very precise and subtle, vibrant and touching performance. Great art – Thanks!”
“Lovely, lovely show. It feels so good to witness the meeting between the little children with the big eyes, and the little big story, told by a true storyteller. We left the performace with an experience in the heart that lasts the hole day and beyond. “
“Mette Rosleff unveils the small secrets of the sandbox with smile, caution and formidable contact with the small spectators.”

“Mette Rosleff’s hands are the country’s quietest when she strings her fingers through the sand and finds little secret things in ”Little Steps”. Her voice cares like the caress of the kids. After the show, there is all quiet and refusal, no one wants to leave the tent. Theater My is wellness for the soul.”
Information
“It is rare to see such care taken with an early-years audience as Teater My demonstrates in Little Steps, a perfectly pitched theatre production for two- to five-year-olds”.
