Lussi - a family musical
-
Halvard Bjørkås
Lussi is an evil fairy from Norwegian tradition. In this musical performed by local children and youths you get to know more about the traditions and what people used to believe in the old days, like why it was important not to perform any work with circular movements the day of winter solstice, or what could happen to those who did not mark their doors and cattle with a cross. The play is in Norwegian, but with lots of nice songs and music, so this can be a good experience even if you do not know the Norwegian language all too well.

The musical is played on December 10th and December 11th at 4:00 pm.
Tickets may be bought online in a while, or in the Christmas shop if there are any left...
