Press coverage

Maria Lindh-Garreau, Nytt drama på Norrmalmstorg (literally: New drama in the square of Norrmalmstorg), 08.09.2001, Dagens Nyheter:
"It makes one see Drömmen om Sverige* (The Dream about Sweden) as belonging to a Scandinavian performance direction revolving around cultural identity and the dissolution of the established avant garde theatre's acting style. But as opposed to for instance Norwegian Baktruppen's productions, Drömmen om Sverige has a steady core. [..] a hybrid of concert, literary presentation and emotional deep dive. [...] The audience buys wine in the bar and is served chocolate and fruit by the performers."
