Being part of Echoes of Morantia
Over a ten-year period, we will meet to film – about one day every fourth month.
To grow older with the script, the ensemble, and the director… that is a rare gift.
Everything is allowed to ripen slowly, in its own rhythm.
As an actor, I’ve worked with many kinds of stories – theatre, spoken word, opera choruses, short films, and self-produced pieces. One of my favourites: “Let’s Play Hamlet” with the preschool class at Lilla Nacka School.
When I was little, I used to invite the neighbourhood kids to my puppet theatre performances – and in some way, I think I never really stopped.
Yes, I’ve been on and off the stage for most of my life. Even when I’ve stepped away from the theatre, it’s always been what I longed for.
So when Echoes came along – with its unique format and long time span – it was irresistible. In fact, I had been yearning for a long-term project… et voilà!
In Echoes, I play The Historian.
She begins quietly, observing – but her curiosity soon takes over.
She senses patterns and possibilities before the others do.
She sees connections, collects fragments, and listens. A witness, perhaps. Or something more?
I love to look for light in the dark – and comic glimpses in the serious.
What will we discover together, she and I – and we, as an ensemble?
To enter an artistic process like this – knowing a few things about the frame, and being deeply curious about the rest – that excites me.
I can’t wait to begin.
