"The jury emphasised the dramaturgic insight of the theatre makers through the choice of effects adjusted for the story and the target audience. Among many of this year's theatre productions the handicraft was apt and the message clear, reaching the audience. Several were worthy of prizes.
The jury fell for a seemingly simple theatre production dealing with a vast and difficult topic, conveyed to small children in a masterful manner. The creator of this work has maintained the respect Birgit Strøm had for the questioning, curious child in a considered and artistically insightful way. The very Norse myth of creating is conveyed to children yet to start school, using a suitcase, puppets and stage design elements to help the narrative capture the fascination of children and adults."
