If you thought you knew everything about sleeping, get ready to learn even more! Tatu and Patu are the main characters from the popular children’s book series by Anu Havukainen and Sami Toivonen. This autumn, you can see a theatrical adaptation of Tatu and Patu’s Strange Dream Book at Tampere Hall.

Tatu and Patu receive a special overnight guest at their sleep research laboratory — you, dear viewer! We’re happy to announce that you are in good hands. The brothers have prepared a performance perfectly suited for sleep but guaranteed to keep you awake. It covers everything you need to know about preparing for sleep, bedtime routines, dreaming, and other nighttime activities.

Now it’s time for scientific precision with bedtime snacks, washing up, and potty breaks, choosing the perfect sleep toy, and assembling the best possible night gear. A troubleshooting chart for sleep problems, The Very Best of Lullabies, proper bedtime rituals, and a monster repellent will ensure the best night’s sleep. And if you still have questions, don’t worry! Just ask — and sleep expert Princess Rose will answer.

This delightful production by Linnateatteri, surpassing scientific reports in accuracy, features wild and strange dreams, lively songs that are anything but sleep-inducing, and near-perfect solutions for a good night’s rest. It’s suitable for everyone who sleeps, has slept, or wants to sleep. So, close your eyes… or open them wide, and join the Outola brothers’ fun dream show!
