So @neroushalvaus told me that in the current Finnish production of Så som i himmelen, after a big assortment of other questionable choices, they interpret the finale as some sort of Literal Vision of Heaven... and in there, Tore magically heals of his disability.

The more I think about this, the more disappointed and angry I feel about it.

I mean. The whole entire point of the character of Tore is that the others learn to accept him exactly as he is, and that he has a unique, valuable voice just like everybody else. Besides that, he's a very rare instance of disabled representation within musical theatre. Sure, he's often played by non-disabled actors – but the Helsinki production showed us how you can achieve great results by splitting the role between a disabled and a non-disabled actor, so the role can also be an opportunity for disabled actors, given that they're provided enough support throughout the process.

Or it can be an opportunity for a non-disabled actor to treat disability like a costume you can simply take off when you're done with it and for a production to imply that disabled people are not good as they are, I guess. Cool beans!

Incredibly disappointed with the director and everyone else involved.

#they also cut the whole prologue and have Daniel coughing up blood and whatnot #unlike the Tore thing those choices are not offensive or anything. but I do think they're very very dumb #dunno! this detail has just been haunting me #I'm sure the actor and/or the director could explain why they've made such a choice...#but personally tbh I'm not super interested in hearing that #I think they're sending an awful message re: disabled people no matter the reasoning #oh well! I guess it's high time we had a trash fire production after so many strong ones #also I guess ymmv if you're not a big fan of the show. but I am. so there's that.#🎶 I had such hopes and now those hopes are shattered 🎶#Så som i himmelen

"Fråga Arne is the best I Am song in musical theatre", I say into the mic. The crowd boos. They scream the names of different, more well-known songs. I turn away from the mic, ashamed, when I hear a voice from the back row. "She's right." I turn to see who is talking, and there he is: Magnusson, with a fixed toupée.

Tonight was just magical. I witnessed a musical concert with the original Så som i himmelen cast. The venue is beautiful, the sun shone and a lovely bunch of people sang their hearts out. It was a lovely way to say goodbye to them and that production.

Some highlights:

*A wonderful instrumental ssih medley to start it all off.

* Lots of Ssih songs and not just the most famous ones

* The six women 'Du måste finnas' version I didn't know I needed until tonight, but now I'm in love with it.

* The sound of music medley that kindly gave me another chance to hear Karolin Funke sing 'Climb every mountain'

* Anders Ekborg

*The absolutely lovely Tuva B. Larsen

* En sång till livet ×2 (one with the orchestra and one with just the guitar)

#så som i himmelen #emmas theatre thoughts #i'm so glad i bought tickets to this #it was just lovely #i feel so happy

Trots att jag älskar så sol i himmelen och musikaler har jag aldrig lyssnat på musikalen, men ni gjorde jag det och asså den var ju jättebra (varför väntade jag). Jag har dock lite tankar ändå:

Det började spelas dansbandsmusik i mina hörlurar och jag tänkte ’undra om det här är Arnes låt?’ Genialiskt. 10/10 det är klar det ska vara dansband när det är Arne.

Anders Ekborg är så sjukt Anders Ekborg och det är en sjuk bra sak. Jag har bara bra associationer med den mannen och han levererade. Jag behövde inte en titta vem som sjöng ”Hur tror du att det känns”.

På tal om skådespelarna - sjukt bra casting på nästan alla fronter. Philip Jalmelid började sjunga och jag kände att det är klart han är Daniel. När han och Tuva B Larsen sjunger tillsammans… jag var nära på att behöva sätta mig på golvet inne på Åhléns. När alla öppnade munnen kände jag bara att det fall på plats.

Med det sagt, jag har svårt för Malena Ernman. Jag tror att min bild av Gabriella är lite för synonym med Helen Sjöholm för jag älskar henne med hela mitt hjärta (ska på hennes julkonsert i december) och därmed har jag svårt för Gabriella med operarröst. Malena kanske var jättebra annars men hon är inte min Gabriella

Slutsats: varför har jag inte bara gått och sett den? Jag har sett reklam för den sen innan den kom ut men inte bara gått? Det hade inte ens varit svårt??? Nu måste jag ju se den!

not in the best mindset to defend my thesis tomorrow. I'm just so fed up and exhausted so if anyone critiques anything I've done at this point I'll just be like "yeah you're 100% right and it's all due to the decline of my mental health." maybe another structure of the conclusions would have worked better Ida. yeah I agree it all sucks but I could also not care less, arrivederci

#guuuuuud i himmelen snälla free me from my misery #SJUKT pazzesco att det är så kort tid kvar... haha verkligen omg kommer vara klar med den här fucking skiten om mindre än 24 h #vill bara vara klar bryr mig inte om något annat #I say men klart som fan jag bryr mig aja vi får väl se #snicksnack #thesis

I need whatever possessed me while drawing that hypnos to do it again please

#genuinely that was my peak. every time I look at him I feel at peace and I haven’t been able to achieve that since.#it’s also one of few pieces I still really really like after so long #there’s something about the textures of the dress and the crosshatching on the skin that I can’t recreate…. I really wanna do that again.#sorry it’s really late and I’m listening to så som i himmelen so I’m a little weepy

Vad ljus över griften!

Han lever, o fröjd!

Fullkomnad är skriften,

o salighets höjd!

Från himmelen hälsad,

han framgår i glans,

och världen är frälsad,

och segern är hans.

Bortvältad är stenen och inseglet bräckt,

och vakten har flytt för hans andes fläkt,

och avgrunden bävar.

Halleluja!

Här var mellan ljuset

och mörkret en strid,

dock segrade ljuset

för evig tid.

Nedstörtad är döden

och tron står opp

bland jordiska öden

med himmelskt hopp.

I sörjande kvinnor, vem söken I här?

Den levande ej bland de döda är:

Uppstånden är Jesus.

Halleluja!

Så himlen med jorden

försonade sig,

så graven är vorden

till glädjen en stig.

I huvu'n, som böjdens

vid korsets fot,

upplyftens och fröjdens

trots världens hot.

Kom, skingrade hjord, till din herde igen:

Han lever, han lever och följer dig än

osynlig från himlen.

Halleluja!

Nu stormen, o tider!

Hans kyrka står fast.

Som ljuset sig sprider

hans lära med hast.

Ut gå i all världen

hans sändningabud

och vittna bland svärden

och bålen om Gud

och vittna om honom, o tröst i all nöd,

som, död för vår synd, blev genom sin död

en förstling till livet.

Halleluja!

I fromma, vi klagen,

vi misströsten I?

Hur fort är båd' dagen

och natten förbi!

Snart jorden upplåter

sin famn till er ro,

snart uppstån i åter

likt kornen som gro.

Han själv, som dem sådde, skall komma till slut

och samla in skörden, men skilja förut

ogräset från vetet.

Halleluja!

-Frans Michael Franzén

I was trying to find så som i himmelen (2004) at my local recycling centre today but sadly they didn't have it so instead I got these for 3 euros

#we make a lot of war movies huh #but it has been years since I last saw these #så som i himmelen was on tv again just recently and it made me want to have it on DVD as well #I do have it saved on my laptop but eh I'm not a fan of the watermark #my local recycling centre truly supporting me with their low prices

Wait okay, seeing as I made a bunch of you have Pentiment feelings with me tonight I have to share a song rec (and lyric translation, since it is not in English)

You all may remember I had to do a whole presentation on a Norwegian music group for my Norwegian language class last semester. It turned out the band I picked, a folk rock group called Glittertind, has a whole concept album they released on October 31st, 2017 to mark the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation.

Technically the album is inspired by the Norwegian Reformation, but it's not like there are a lot of concept albums out there about the Protestant Reformation to begin with, and there's enough, like, general existential reflection and metaphor in them that there's one song in particular, that really gives me some Pentiment (and Andreas Maler) feelings

(Also it's just a really good song)

youtube

Lyrics and translation under the cut:

Etter stormen såg eg ingenting Ingenting av alt eg såg Etter stormen dreiv eg rundt i ring Og undra på kor landet låg

Etter stormen blanke auge bar Himmelen så rar og bleik Etter stormen fann eg ingen svar Viljevarden visna veik

Eg kom drivande som båt i brann På dei blåe bylgjer knust i strand Eg drøymde ein draum Eg trudde var sann Eg livde eit liv Som forsvann

Etter stormen reiv ut ryggen min Såg eg ingen slott som skein Etter stormen ingen glitretind Såg eg ingen himmelheim

Eg var ’kje klar for denne kalde jord Eg var ’kje klar, eg hadde ingen ord

Eg drøymde ein draum Eg trudde var sann Eg livde eit liv Som forsvann

Eg ville flyge langt derifrå Ut til allheimen den blå Eg virra rundt i ein ynskjebrunn Og lengta etter mysterium

Sjå verda spinn bak det kvite-grå Med alle skapningar på skrå Me virrar rundt i ein ynskjebrunn Og lengtar etter mysterium

Eg var ’kje klar for denne kalde jord Eg var ’kje klar, eg hadde ingen ord

Eg drøymde ein draum Eg trudde var sann Eg livde eit liv Som forsvann

---

After the storm I saw nothing Nothing in everything I saw After the storm I drifted around in circles And wondered where the land was After the storm, my vision was empty The sky looked strange and pale After the storm I found no answers My will to watch for them withered I came adrift like a boat on fire On the blue waves that broke on the beach I dreamed a dream I thought it was true I lived a life Which disappeared After the storm tore out my spine I didn't see any castles that shone After the storm, no glittering mountains I saw no heaven I wasn't ready for this cold earth I wasn't ready, I had no words I dreamed a dream I thought it was true I lived a life Which disappeared I want to fly far from there Out to the blue universe [wild blue yonder?] I stare, confused, in a wishing well And yearn for mystery See the world spinning behind the white-grey With all of creation lopsided I stare, confused, in a wishing well And yearn for mystery I wasn't ready for this cold earth I wasn't ready, I had no words I dreamed a dream I thought it was true I lived a life Which disappeared

#DID MY BEST WITH THE TRANSLATION seeing as the song is in nynorsk and i have mostly learned bokmål #this is maybe the most niche thing i've ever posted and that's saying something #but like listen. listen #i really love this song actually #and ironically enough chose glittertind for my presentation shortly before i played pentiment for the first time #(i am just the kind of person who picks a band like that. anyways)#but also.... flailing with emotion #it's about the loss of meaning when your world gets turned upside-down/when it changes and moves on without you #which. augh #pentiment tag #music tag

Lukuvinkki!

Näyttelijä ja tutkija Riikka Papusen kirjoittamassa artikkelissa käydään läpi prosessia, jonka tuloksena Niin kuin taivaassa -musikaalin kehitysvammaista roolihahmoa Torea esittämään valittiin HKT:n taannoiseen tuotantoon kehitysvammainen näyttelijä Jaakko Lahtinen.

Artikkeli pureutuu siihen, mitä kaikkea on otettava huomioon, jotta kehitysvammaisen näyttelijän on turvallista toimia osana suurta musikaalituotantoa. Kokemuksiaan jakavat artikkelissa Lahtisen lisäksi tuotannon muut näyttelijät ja ohjaaja Jakob Höglund.

Artikkelin voi ladata linkin takaa suomen- tai ruotsinkielisenä pdf-tiedostona.
