The Dream of the Folk Park!

Femtinge Teater takes the audience on a park tour from north to south - from a tough girl in a jacket in Kiruna to the media frenzy that erupted in Finspång when a world star came to visit. Along the way, visitors' own memories are heard: the love found on the dance floor, the idols people adored, the dreams, expectations, and disappointments.

The Swedish folk park movement is presented as the unique phenomenon it is - a place where local talents, the Swedish artistic elite, and international stars performed on the same simple stage before an audience that was sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes completely bewildered.

The music is a selection of schlager, pop, and rock and roll from the era when orchestras and artists found a new sound, featuring names like Lill-Babs, Owe Thörnqvist, Rock Olga, Povel Ramel, Siw Malmkvist, Ola and the Janglers, and Jerry Williams, among others.

Script and direction: Linda Elaine Byman and Hans-Åke Andersson.
