THE IRON CROWN

- a free adaptation of Dag Thelander's & Per Wickström's musical Jernbanan after Sara Lidman.

Järnkronan is a humorous and touching performance with song, music and poetic video projections. Musical theater that is both intimate and large in its dramatic form.

Didrik fights for the living conditions in the village, but his dream ends in a prison cell on Långholmen. There he intertwines success and setbacks with the heights of love and the depths of betrayal. There rises the mists of Lillvattnet and a longing; for a place that is a prolonged cry of beauty. When the fallen hero realizes too late that greater powers have been playing over his head.

The story is based on real events about Sara Lidman's own grandfather.

"Brilliant staging from start to finish - experienced actor shines"

"Incredible actor rows in dream venture"
"To portray the contradictory, the strong and the fragile, the life-giving and the dangerous in our dreams - is there a more important task for the theater?"
- Rolf Ahlzén, VF
