Maria Jonsson & Daniel Fredriksson: The giants of Vilhelmina
A musical story that puts archive recordings with Lisa Johansson Sandberg (1894-1982) in the center. Lisa's epic saga about the ancient giants of Vilhelmina is portrayed through live music and projected animations (ca 50 min)
Professor Loop (aka Hållbus Totte Mattsson): The Monster in Paradise
An audiovisual exploration of a medieval symbolic world. A vevlire performance with
live looping and live VJ-ing by and with Professor Loop (ca 30 min)
VJ-ing (VEE-JAY-ing) is a broad term for real-time visual performance. The hallmark of VJ-ing is the creation or manipulation of images in real time and in synchronization with music.
Daniel Fredriksson Daniel grew up in Skellefteå and as a folk musician has been interested in new interpretations of the Västerbotten song treasure, including in the duo "Pettersson & Fredriksson". Daniel received his PhD in Ethnology from Umeå University in 2018, and now works at Dalarna University's program in Sound and Music Production. He is interested in audiovisual storytelling and at Västerbottensteatern he has previously made "Getaren" which is also based on an oral history from the county.
Lisa Johansson Sandberg from Vilhelmina (1894-1982) was primarily known as an artist, using plant-dyed wool yarn to create beautiful pictures, often with mountain motifs. She was a great storyteller, wrote several books with a cultural-historical focus, and from a seemingly never-ending source came stories consisting of personal memories from her childhood, customs and traditions, but also supernatural events and beings.
