Okay guys, here’s part II in my triology about the great Epidemic of Art in G\u00f6teborg. Today I give you <\/span>Fia<\/span> <\/span>Adler Sandblad, who together with director S\u00f6ren Larsson is in charge <\/span>of larsson&ADAS theatre at Konstepidemin. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have even several theater plays running and you have shown these<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong>plays in other countries. Where did you go and what play did you bring? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

-Most of our audience is from everywhere, really. People
\nin small villages in the Nordic countries to the art<\/span><\/p>\n

consuming audience in New York and Washington DC are touched by our
\nperformances and feel they have got “something special” from seeing
\nit. We like to think it is because of our way of working, our
\nspecific attention to profound work grounded in ourselves, in the
\nmaterial we are working with, and the pleasure in stage presence and
\nscenic communication with the audience: to be there and share. We
\nperformed in Marrakech, Morocco, last autumn, where people speak
\nFrench if not Arabic, but it was not a problem. It is ambience of
\nsharing. I performed a monologue, 75 minutes, in English. It felt
\namazing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would also like to ask about\u00a0your new play. Can you please<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/strong>describe the core idea<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>behind your newest play and why we should see it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-Actually, there is not one single idea behind this play. \u201cBERTHA –
\nthe other love story\u201d is a harrowing story about love. It is in a way
\na testimony, a very hard story about life with a love that is not at
\nall loving and warm, but full of abuse-like situations treated and
\nhandled as “normal”. In the performance, we meet Bertha Mason, “the
\nmad woman in the attic” from Charlotte Bronte’s 19th century novel
\nJane Eyre. In the novel Bertha dies, but in our performance she
\nappears alive and tells her incomprehensible, passionate story taking
\nplace at the same time as the romantic novel. This is a new
\ninterpretation of a classic story about love, contempt and a life in
\ntotal alienation but lived with spirit and pride. The text was
\nwritten specifically for me by author Malin Lindroth. The <\/span>performance i<\/span>mmediately draws attention to its strong content and the way the story is acted.<\/p>\n

How long have you been working at Konstepidemin and who are you?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-I have been here since 1991. I am an actor, playwright and artistic
\ndirector and I am burning for theatre as an art form: theatre as a
\nspace where you might investigate yourself as a human being, your
\nrelations to yourself, to others and to society around, to try to
\nmake sense and to grasp something. I know there\u00a0is something in life
\nwhich we tend to mystify. I don’t think it is mystic, it is very
\nconcrete and it might be communicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where can we see more of you 2010?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

-We will work with research and rehearsals for a couple of new
\nprojects home at Konstepidemin 2010, but we will also go to a theatre
\nfestival in Istanbul. Actually, we are also invited to work with a
\ntheatre company in Istanbul so we will see them as well. We are also
\ninvited to Buffalo in USA, but that might happen 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n
