Simo Heiskanen's Raxu Taskunen is a puppet theatre musical in which Heiskanen plays all the characters in the story. The story of Raxu Taskunen jumps from one continent to another, from the surface of the earth to underground and back again, to the rhythm of a nursery rhyme. The world is seen from the perspective of Raxu Taskunen, who is small enough to fit in a pocket. The ever-hungry Raxu is a clever, lively yet extremely lazy character who tries by any means possible to avoid things he finds unpleasant, such as going to bed or eating a healthy diet.
