Carl-Einar Häckner - I för långt borta land

Carl-Einar Häckner returns to Aftonstjärnan this autumn with the performance "I för långt borta land" - a show that begins in his grandmother's living room and a Ramlösa capsule that vanished and was never found again.

From there, the narrative moves through magic, songs, and humor that make room for the unexpected - and for an underlying unease. Häckner describes it as a way of living, of conjuring freedom, of understanding himself through art.

"It's always madness. Darkness creeps in here and there becomes humor. It just becomes so that I don't want to die in my frame. I try to conjure myself free. I love magic. I try to understand myself in art. Humor that lightens words that set free. That's what I long for. I scream. I am the pig. That's why I perform. It's fun. It's a way to live. It's boring to conjure in front of a mirror. I want to perform at Aftonstjärnan. Remember how it feels. The unpredictability of dreams is my guiding star. The performance already has its own life. You are with me now. Welcome" - Carl-Einar Häckner
