The storm excavation

How are we really doing in the three plus society? Can we still be touched and seriously engage in a listening and responding relationship with another human being? Or with a work of art? Get goosebumps from music? Profilteatern makes theater of Stormens utveckling - the contemporary commentary podcast in which Ola Söderholm, Liv Strömquist and Jonatan Unge with humor and sharpness lay out the text about current events and contemporary phenomena.

The show looks to the future to see the present. A group of archaeologists has made a groundbreaking discovery from the 2020s. They have found remnants of so-called 'content' - material from a podcast that was apparently very popular at the time during the last phase of the late capitalist era. Finally, we will get answers to questions like: What was a normal day like for a person during this period? What kind of lives did all those boomers, incels, right-wing trolls and tiktok moms lead? Did they eat baboons? Did they exclusively have tantra sex? And above all: Why were natural wine, brazilian buttlifts and self-help gurus more important than collective action?

The Storm's Excavation is a deep dive into issues of narcissism, alienation and social acceleration. A unique and intimate experience of how people lived and thought in the 2020s and beyond. The performance is based on dramatized podcasts from Stormens utveckling by Söderholm, Strömquist and Unge, which in early 2023 passed 200 episodes. Welcome to an archaeological excavation of our time.
