- It has been a really shitty year for culture, sighs Östgötateatern's director Nils Poletti.
In February last year, public activities had to be shut down due to coronary restrictions.
Apart from a shorter period last autumn when you were allowed to play for a maximum of 50 people, you have instead been allowed to engage in digital productions, without an audience on site.
Now you can open the salons again.
Last week was the premiere of the comedy "Alla mina liv" in Linköping.
100 people are admitted to a salon that takes 400, but the government's announcement yesterday indicates that it will be possible to fill the salons as early as next month.
Celebrate French
This autumn's major musical investment will be Amélie, which is based on the film "Amelie from Montmartre" from 2001. It will premiere in Norrköping and be moved to Linköping in mid-November.
- As a tax-financed theater, we must dare to take risks and not just run old classics over and over again, says Nils Poletti, who believes that Amélie will be a perfectly warm restart for theater life.
800 people applied for roles in the set and the one who got the main role was Klara Enervik.
She comes directly from the Theater Academy in Malmö, so this is her first big role.
In the clip above, she talks about what the film meant to her.
