Casinoblanca – the future at stake is musical spectacle based in Hanko in 2066. The story is based on the classic film Casablanca. Like in Casablanca in the 40’s, Hanko is a haven for people in search of happiness and a life without debt.
Rick, the owner of the Casino follows the flow of people that pass and makes money on their dream for a better life. But suddenly, he meets Ilsa, his old love. He is forced to question his own cynicism when the whole future of humanity is at stake.
The ensemble includes professional actors, amateurs, music groups and dance associations from around Hanko.
