Based on Tage Danielsson's beloved Christmas classic, this puppet theatre production tells the story our Swedish neighbours watch on television every Christmas Eve, now brought to life on stage for children and adults alike.
Set in a town several decades ago, we meet Karl Bertil, a well-mannered boy with a Christmas job at the post office. Over the Christmas days he secretly lives out a Robin Hood fantasy, gathering the gifts the wealthy send to one another and, on Christmas Eve itself, dressing as Father Christmas to deliver the parcels to the town's poor. When his father discovers what his rebellious son has done, Karl Bertil must face the consequences.
The story is told through music, puppets, objects and plenty of Christmas decorations, with a good deal of heart.
- Performers: Maria Myrgård and Bastian Popp
