Skådespelaren Edith sitter leende på golvet, benen i kors. På huvudet har hon en grå och lurvig kramdjur.

Unga Teatern: Får jag bo hos dig

1–3 Price: 10–20 € Length: 20 min. Language: Swedish

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.
