Tranrop - Narrative walk in the footsteps of Sara Lidman

It is exactly 50 years since Sara Lidman moved home to Missenträsk to write Boken - which would become the great railway epic. Alongside her work on the novel, she was a frequent speaker, not least in Skellefteå at public meetings and demonstrations.

Now we invite you to a story-telling walk in Sara's footsteps that starts in the cultural staircase on the ground floor of Sara Kulturhus. There we get the answer why the house is actually called Sara Kulturhus before we walk on towards the current Scandic hotel. We visit three places where Sara Lidman has previously spoken and at the same time get small treats from the speeches, including "Tranrop" which she held at the opening of the old library.

The narrator of the walk is Ellenor Lindgren from Västerbottensteatern. Ellenor has long experience of working with Sara Lidman's texts and life in several ways. She is behind the exhibition in Missenträsk "Sara i Byn - Byn i Världen", she is Sara Lidman's voice in the documentary film "Sara med allt sitt väsen" and has dramatized / played the performances "Lifsens rot" and "Lev" based on Lidman's texts.

The tour is in Swedish.
