With the Christmas performance Nusse & Gluggen Teater Radix presented an evocative experience with musical arrangements Arne Bendiksen. In the warm space of the barn singsong and dance, plus some surprises towards the end of the performance were included. The main issues of the performance are solidarity and being nice to one another.
Norwegian pupils of today can be humanists, Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists, and they represent a growing group of religious diversity. With Nusse & Gluggen Teater Radix invited believers of all religions to experience Christmas in a positive way, anchored in Norwegian folklore, independently of the spectator’s ethics or religious beliefs.
The performance was performed from 1999 to 2008 in kindergartens, libraries, public and private events, in venues including the paediatric department in Ullevål University Hospital.
