Everything and nothing by The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne takes place on a small island in a large ocean. Here live the Pelicanstorks and the Slipperknights.

One day there is a Conchylophone filled with stories is left on the beach.

Jan H. Landro, 26.05.2008, Bergens Tidende [Bergen]:
"Rich feed for the imagination. (...) In The National Venue of Theatre Calixto Bieito tries to lead our ideas about Brand, in Barnas Hus (The Children’s House) Dukkenikkerne goes in the opposite direction. Both methods give good results, but for the audience of three years and older the latter works the best. The performance of The Puppetry Company Dukkenikkerne can start mental processes in all of us, no matter our age. (...) The music by Kato Ådland takes us in many directions and to several continents. It works as a creator of wonder and it builds a foundation for moods and events. (...) I can hardly think anyone will leave this play disappointed."
