This performance took place in oldest tower of the old medieval castle ruin Kronobergs Slott, located just outside Växjö and used in the 15th century to defend Sweden. It has not been occupied since the mid 17th century but still lures with talks of ghosts and local tales. The performances were part of Småland Museum pedagogical program Glasklart, held for invited schoolchildren as well as the public. They were held at sunset, about 15.30 in Sweden this time of the year, and gathered quite a large crowd despite a cold and rainy november.
