Define Life – Musical for youth

Define Life – Musical for youth
A musical performance about being young today.

A friendship blossoms between Liv and Abbe during a music project at school but soon it develops into something fragile and frightening. The world is turning around them and everything must come to an end before they realize what’s truly meaningful in life.

The major themes in the performance are loneliness, expectations and anxiety, but above all, also hope and humanity.

The students in Nya TADAM have written a brand new musical together with writer Malin Kivelä and composer Markus Fagerudd.

Nya TADAM is a musical theatre educational programme for people aged 15-22.
This theater programme has existed for over 25 years in Helsinki. Many of our Finnish-Swedish actors and musicians have started their careers in what was previously called TaDaM. Since 2015, the programme is a collaborative project between all Swedish music institutes in the capital region; Musik- och kulturskolan Sandels, Grankulla musikinstitut, Musikinstitutet Kungsvägen and Vanda musikinstitut, and now the programme is called Musikteaterskolan Nya TADAM. All the students who are a part of Nya Tadam are enrolled in one of the music institutes and have song studies as their main subject. The programme also includes acting, dance, and ensemble singing.

Tickets are only available online. No tickets are sold at the door.
