The «SOMMERFUGLEN» is a fabulous show that grows through play and seriousness. In many cultures, the butterfly is associated with myths and rituals, and most people have a relationship with this marvellous creature that creates both wonder and joy with its beauty and its way from larva to butterfly. The different stages of butterfly development remind us of the different stages of human life and become a picture of unfolding their own wings, making their own choices and finding their place in a changing world.
