„When a festival draws near, people prepare for it, each in their own way.“ – With these words begins the short story by Gunnar Gunnarsson, Advent. The relationships between man, nature and animals, love and sacrifice are at the heart of the story, and it will be told by the players. Arnmund Ernst and Goodbye, Oscar, who are now familiar to library visitors as heralds of Christmas, in their entirety amidst hot drinks and candlelight. The performance lasts just over two hours.
This warm story brings Christmas to many, but it is based on a true story from the accounts of Benedikt Sigurjónsson, also known as Fjalla-Bensi, who during Advent heads up into the highlands with his sheepdog Leo and the lead ram, Eitill, in search of ewes with lambs to bring them in before the festive season.
Attendance is, of course, free, with coffee and refreshments on offer.
