Christoffer Mellgren’s play Får jag bo hos dig tells the story of Burr, a strange creature looking for a home to be in. It shouldn’t be that difficult. Anything could be a home: birds’ nests, anthills, trees. But it must not be too big and not too small. It needs a roof to protect it from the rain and walls to keep the roof up. A door would be nice, so there is something to knock on. And a friend to open the door, or someone to open it for.
Får jag bo hos dig mixes a simple story with rhymes and games in a 20-minute theatre story for the youngest.
