Staffan Westerberg enjoyed a massive following for his original puppet show theater where anything could become everything. Perhaps culminating in the excellent and sensitive "Vilse i Pannkakan" (Lost in the Pankake). The main character and storyteller is the boy at the supper-table loosing himself in thoughts about the pancake he does not want to eat. To him the pancake seems huge and he populates it with characters chosen from the dinner room, his schoolbook knowledge of the world, TV-news etc. . Up from the pancake climbs the little character "Vilse" (Lost) and the pancake spins to become a world of wonder. To the boy his evening by the table drags on for years, lost in his pancake fantasy. Underground the flat pancake world nanny Gallileo Gallilei cares for the young ones of the mouse family.
