After ” Visby take off” at Visby International Center for Composers, Librettist/director Kerstin Perski and I are getting deeper in the creative progression with ”Tistou – a musical drama” – with 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 6-8. Planned premiere January 9 2027.
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).
