Kindergarden children in the ages of 4-6 years old will together with residents at Trobergshemmet (a residential home in Mariehamn) experience Skrubiluttan Å Skrubilej.
The concert contains songs that tell a story about the troll's everyday life in their homeland "Fantásien". The songs are fun, rhythmic and atmospheric and are about friendship and feelings.
