2017 was the first time with a Lucia train on the roof of Uppsala Castle.
An event that has gained a foothold and has been kept intact - despite corona times.
- For me, the roof is a stage where it is possible to create things.
We want to give life to the castle, says Jonathan Tigrar who came up with the idea of a Lucia train on the roof, where it is required that the participants do not suffer from dizziness.
Extra requirements on lucia
And on Lucian further demands are made;
that it is a person who has shown courage, inspired others and who gives hope.
Last year, this agreed with Anna Bredberg Kostov.
- She temporarily dropped out of her company to go in and work in covid care.
This year we would have had Sofia Bo as Lucia, a young woman and gallery owner who has stood up and created a platform for other artists.
Unfortunately, she has had to cancel due to illness, says Jonathan Tigrar.
And German television is in place this year - how come?
- I do not really know, but that we do this has spread and I simply think that it is about being curious that we have taken a Swedish tradition up on a roof.
