After ” Visby take off” at Visby International Center for Composers, Librettist/director Kerstin Perski and I held two really creative workshops together with our collaborators and WOW… the actual score is now on our table! Many thanks to Stockholms Saxophone Quartet and actor Anders Jansson for valuable inputs to this creative process; which still goes on, in everyones own work to find out the musical characters. ”Tistou – a musical drama” have every participant on board – SO incredibly wonderful!!
Thanks to financial supports from Cultural Council (Kulturrådet), Helge Ax:son Jonsson foundation, Stockholm city and Writers Guild of Sweden (Dramatikerförbunet) and FST, my dear companion/librettist/director Kerstin Perski and myself are building a musical drama from ”Tistou”. We collaborate with Teater Barbara and fabulous actor Anders Jansson, Stockholm Saxophone Quartet and light designer Lina Benneth. After many years of projecting, planning, promoting – we are excited to have started this work in progress towards a performance for age 6-10. Planned premiere January 16 2027. Exact time TBA.
Our goal is to, via Kerstin Perski´s doctoral thesis end up with a beautiful poetic musical drama based on Tistou, green thumbs (Maurice Druon 1961), with humble thanks to the right-holder Hervé Marignac.
