The Good Woman of Szechwan

Av Bertolt Brecht

How to control the economic conditions our morals? Is it possible to be good in today's society? The Good Woman of Szechwan is a political, poetic and musical performance where jean factory moves into the Main Stage.

Three gods have flocked to the city in his hopeless search of a good man. They finally find Shen Te, giving the gods shelter overnight. Her goodness is rewarded with money! She immediately invest in a store. But with wealth comes beggars, relatives in need and new problems. Shen Te can not dismiss anyone who needs help, good as she is. She invents therefore an alter ego, a hard male cousin, that can take care of all the unpopular decisions. Soon, however, she spends more time than masquerade as himself.

Director Eva Dahlman and production designer / costume designer Lehna Edwall working together again, after successes with Hedda Gabler and Death of a Salesman. This time the discussion is about money and humanity in the center and the ensemble will wade in denim fabrics on stage.

Big Dipper with Sport TV woman Hulting

On the way home from Skara Summerland listening on the radio at night and we got in without having the radio crackling up was the radio program Big Dipper. This time it was all about strong feelings and emotion.

 

It was sports television woman Katarina Hulting who herself has suffered from cancer that was the host for radioshow. Of course it was all about emotion and she wanted to convey (the way I understod anyway)) that there are very strong emotions in sport….but of course also in the individual's daily life. One of the feelings she, Katarina, recounted was when Foppa had lost SM-final against Malmo and was interviewed immediately afterwards.

Foppa lose Championship final against Malmo.

There were many strong phone calls from listeners who suffered from cancer which was tuff but interesting to listen to. How they still felt the joy of living and how they coping in everyday life to fight against this terrible disease. How some were lucky after all….amazing…

I myself found out the other day that a very good friend of mine, from the United States, has suffered from breast cancer a few years ago. She is doing well right now despite the circumstances, or as good as one can feel, which makes me very happy.

A mother called in with a child diagnosed with ADHD. Was it diagnosed when I was little, i.e. ADHD? i do not think so anyway. Here I admire the parents who can do this but you one can probably handle most things as a parent, but surely this can get to any family in the long run. Interesting to listen to, even this story.

A lot of the radiovshow also dealt with Olympic memories because we are in the midst of the Olympics and Katarina is a mischievous reporting. She gave a lot of reflections of recorded interviews of her own memories from the Olympics.

Here is one of my best and strongest memories from a winter Olympics, sentences in Lillehammer 1994 which eventually also became a postage stamp. I was in Lech on winter vacation when this occured.

Be Careful Out There!
