  • Music from Astrid Lindgren’s movies and life

– About the songs in Astrid Lindgren’s life and fairy tales

Mats and Kristina sing and tell, for and with the audience, about Kristina’s grandfather’s sister Astrid Ericsson, who later became Astrid Lindgren to the whole world. Via the music and songs both from Astrid’s own childhood and from the famous films, we travel back in time and tell about Astrid as a child on the farm Näs in Vimmerby. And about how the work, play and people on the farm came to inspire all the beloved fairy tales, characters and songs – all born out of one person’s imagination. Free entrance!
