Salzberger makes his own adaptation which takes place in "a contemporary nightmare landscape" in Stockholm. The consequences of the dismantling of the welfare state become "scarily clear", according to a press release where Salzberger tells that he has been given permission from Lars Norén's heirs to weave in his own autobiographical experiences.
In my artistry, I almost exclusively work with the same themes as in "3:1": abuse, mental illness, family relationships, he says to Dagens Nyheter.
"Personkrets 3:1" had its premiere at Riksteatern in 1998, directed by Lars Norén himself, and quickly became theater history. The new production premieres on March 6 and the roles are played by, among others, Shebly Niavarani, Helena af Sandeberg and Robert Fux.
