A Swedish Midsummer Night’s Dream
By Jenny Möller Jensen, Nils Närman Svensson, Janna Granström
A bold and unpredictable reckoning with the most Swedish of holidays. Herring, schnapps, and “The small frogs.” Sex, vomit, and Swedish “falu sausage”. Funny, absurd, and deeply relatable, no matter if you’ve celebrated midsummer a hundred times or if this is your first.
Because as we all know, even on the brightest nights the darkness lurks just around the corner.
“It’s hysterical, funny, and sad. A skillful piece of storytelling that
dares to trust its audience. And it’s wonderful to be given that trust.”
- ETC
“It is without a doubt hard to imagine a more effective verfremdung of the most Swedish of holidays.”
- Dagens Nyheter
