You can't miss the fact that they like the situation - and each other. Comedian Kjell-Åke "in Myra" Axelsson and actor and director Tomas von Brömssen come rolling between the tree trunks on a classic "Grålle" with timber trail.

It is the recording of the film episodes that will be shown on the big screen during the performance "Make Metbäcken great again", which premiered in Torsby on November 1st.

"Push and move a bit"

And it's big words and a lot of warmth when they both talk about each other.

- Kjell-Åke is one that should not really manage. He has everything with himself. What you can do is just push or move a little, everything else he does himself, says Tomas von Brömssen and looks at a slightly embarrassed Kjell-Åke in Myra who contrasts:

- When Tomas called me and said he was going to direct I was driving off the road so I was happy. He is one of those comedians whom you have always seen, who knows the art of connecting an audience.

Major public at the latest

The show, as usual, has the small town of Metbäcken a few kilometers north of Östmark as the center, and is about the life and conditions of the land sickness.

- It's about us also being in rural areas. It's not just the big cities, we work here and take advantage of what's there.

The last show by Kjell-Åke in Myra about Metbäcken saw the performance by a total of 25,000 people.

Brömssen: "Another world"

The premiere of the new show will be in Torsby on November 1st. Then a Värmland tour awaits, and after that maybe one of the bigger cities.

But right now it is Metbäcken that is the center. For Tomas von Brömssen is the first visit to the Warmland metropolis, and he is a little touched when he talks about the feeling.

- It's a bit strong actually. You are so far out in the country that you are beyond "in the country" in any way. You are out in another world.
