Tok-Anders and Storbonn

Hans-Ola Stenlund and Arne Forsén tell the tale of the gambling farmhand and his master. It takes place at the beginning of the last century, but the issues of power and envy are valid even today.

On a farm in northern Västerbotten in the fall of 1914, a power game is played out between two men. Against the backdrop of a thawing First World War, there is a weekend and festivities on the farm. The farmhand, Tok-Anders, and the big farmer and his companions are drinking and playing music. Tok-Anders has the amazing skill of being an extravagant organ player.

However, the big man's admiration for musicality turns to envy, and the men end up in an argument about art and the benefits of music. The live music in the performance moves freely between chorales, Doroteapol choruses, Bach, schlagers and is played on all kinds of unique instruments.
