Canadian company La ruée vers l’or brings Arctic tales inspired by Jørn Riel to the stage with puppets, live music and sound. Set among hunters in north-east Greenland in the early 1950s, the stories balance isolation, scarce food, harsh weather, vulnerability, anxiety and loneliness with humour, companionship, imagination and resilience.

Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The evening performance starts at 19:30 and lasts 1 hour 25 minutes, ending at about 20:55. Nukketeatteri Sampo's ticket office and cafe open one hour before evening performances. Prams are left in the sheltered courtyard.
- Booking notes
- A ticket is required. The official ticket page is open and currently shows tickets available for tonight's performance. Availability may change quickly before the show.
- Price notes
- A basic ticket costs EUR 25. Under-18s qualify for the EUR 20 reduced ticket, and the EUR 30 support ticket helps fund Nukketeatteri Sampo and SAMPO Festival. Bring proof of eligibility for a reduced ticket.
- Age notes
- The official numeric age recommendation is 10+. The performance is not recommended for children under 10. Its late start, 85-minute duration and themes of isolation, scarce food, anxiety and loneliness make it best suited to older school-age children and teenagers.
