The Three Holy Fools by Gruvekompaniet tells a different story about the very first Christmas Eve.
Everyone has heard the story about the three kings who followed the star and found the child in the crib. But did the kings go on their own? Didn’t they bring anyone along on the long journey? This is the story about three others who also visited the manger in Bethlehem that first Christmas night. Three who, until now, have been utterly forgotten. Every king, naturally, brought his own fool. And like the three kings gave the newborn gold, frankincense and myrrh, the three fools also wanted to give the child a gift…
This is their story. This is the story about the Three Holy Fools.
What the fools’ gift was should be clear; they did what they did the best – to make people laugh.
The Three Holy Fools by Gruvekompaniet uses storytelling theatre with visual images and other simplistic effects.
