Jakob Martin Strid's family show The Fantastic Bus returns to the Large Stage at the Royal Danish Theatre's Playhouse after selling out its world premiere in autumn 2025. The poetic, playful production follows Taku, Spir and their friends on a journey through their dreamland Balanka, in search of a rare saffron lily that might save the seriously ill little Timo.
The story unfolds in the harbour town of Ahnstarr City, where the children build a giant bus and set off on a risky trip that takes them across the steepest bridge to the North Pole, through icy landscapes and into the Last Country, where the Dictator rules. The production comes from the same creative team behind The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear, and is aimed at children and adults alike.
