I think about love - open rehearsals

The previous successes with open rehearsals return during Berättarfestivalen! This year, Västerbottensteatern invites the audience to Scene 5 in Sara kulturhus to take part in the ongoing work with "Jag tänker på kärlek - en humorföreställning efter serier av Liv Strömquist"!

What happens to love when we try to choose a partner rationally? What happens to romance when we only care about our own happiness? And what can we really learn from Glenn Hysén about the single consumerism of our time? And from Britney Spears about the myth of love?

Welcome to a musical and humorous show that holds up a laughing mirror to the present and offers both bizarre and everyday scenes. The premiere will be in November, but you can already join us for a peek behind the scenes.

Julia Marko-Nord, who successfully directed Rotterdam at Västerbottensteatern in 2022, returns to take on Liv Strömquist's uncompromising, twisted and analytical series about everything from sex, class, power structures and social criticism in general, to feminism in particular.

Liv Strömquist broke through in 2005 with her successful debut Hundra procent fett and has since established herself as one of Sweden's most important cartoonists and cultural personalities. Her comics have won several awards, been translated into nearly twenty languages and have been dramatized extensively.
