With the bedroom as a world of performances, the performing arts collective has explored Sadkulturen - a culture and an internet phenomenon where young boys and girls share their bad mood.
Here the anxiety, the diagnoses and the pain get a place and that through the music.
-I got this idea six years ago when I was listening to an artist named Spookey Black.
Then we just read a lot of books and talked to researchers and took our starting point in our own experience as relatives and based on life, says Linda Forsell who is a director and artistic director.

Sadness as resistance
Since the start in 2008, the independent theater group Potato Potato in Malmö has tried to create new perspectives on current social issues.
By mixing self-written music with songs by artists such as Yung Lean, Billie Ellish and Lana del Rey, the show wants to show how the subculture can be an expression of resistance and potential.
- Going into a sad culture can be an answer or a resistance to being part of a culture where everything is up to the individual.
That it is the individual himself who should be responsible for his mind, his own happiness.
There is quite a lot to demand of a human being.
And we want this musical to be a consolation and an answer to what it is like to live in late capitalism, in a desolate society, says Linda Forsell.
The performance Sadland has played in Malmö and will play at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm.
