A musical based on Edith Hammar’s comic book. The performance asks the question, what homesickness does to the human and provides no answers.
My journey goes between dimension homesickness and dimension Viking Line
while travelling I try to relax in an A4 seaside standard cabin
who am I here?
We are on Glory, a fantasy version of the Sweden boats. They take sexual minorities across the Baltic Sea in search of opportunities to be themselves. But is Stockholm really a better option? And what can you do with the grief and tears that won’t stop? Together we remain, between dimensions, in a club, in a bathtub. We sing and dance and do soft, lovely, strange things with each other. We sing about homesickness, about desire and lust, about violence, about Stockmann clock, Tom of Finland and Homo Line.
Must the future be so fresh and profitable
and then, or now it feels as if
it feels like I’ve missed a lot of important things
