Partly. The story is spoken in Finnish, but the live music, dance and puppets carry some of it, so a small child can still enjoy the show without the words.

About

Saunatonttu (the sauna elf) is a puppet show by Nukketeatteri Taiga-Matto, staged at the Etelä-Haaga library. The story is told in Finnish, in a translation by Sari Tirkkonen, with live music and dance woven through it. Kids who speak Finnish will get the most from it. Others can still follow the puppets, songs and dancing, though they will miss much of the story.
