Det skal du vide

Animation and puppet theatre for children and adults. Age group: From 7 years. Duration: 40 minutes without intermission. A performance based on Tage Danielsson's Christmas classic, the story that our fellow Danish people watch on TV every Christmas Eve. In a town several decades ago, we meet Karl Bertil, a boy from a good family who has a Christmas job at the post office. During Christmas, he secretly lives out his Robin Hood fantasy: He collects all the gifts that the wealthy send to each other, and on Christmas Eve himself, he goes out as Santa Claus and gives the packages to the poor in town. And he must then face the consequences when his father discovers what his rebellious son has done... The performance is told with music, puppets, objects, Christmas decorations and lots of good conscience.
