Kalle Lind makes his revue debut – whimsical and thought-provoking

The podcast "Snedtänkt" is soon up to 450 episodes and celebrates its ten-year anniversary. But the creator Kalle Lind is not one who just keeps going in old tracks. Soon he makes his debut as a revue creator in Malmö – and ahead he hopes to be able to launch a novel.

Kalle Lind continues to justify his self-proclaimed title, "diverse worker in the cultural industry". Humor and satisfied chuckling are present in everything he does, but appearances are deceiving.

If we're going to talk seriously, I'm an enormously gloomy person.

That's why I want to highlight all these people who have stood on various stages and entertained us. Without them, I wouldn't have survived, I dare say.

After having highlighted and scrutinized some of the giants of Swedish revue history in both book and podcast form, it's now his turn to take on the mantle.

He does so with Helikopterrevyn, which premieres with "A Better View" at Nöjesteatern in Malmö on September 27.

The genre is robust. It should be much bigger than it is, it's so incredibly useful.

Trams and Food for Thought

Here, he can switch between subjects and expressions, high and low. Trams are mixed with food for thought – it's about trusting that the audience will follow, but also taking the audience's need for entertainment seriously, he explains.

The production company Anagram hopes that this will be the start of a new revue tradition in Malmö, and Kalle Lind also hopes for a continuation on the revue scene.

But "Snedtänkt" he doesn't think of abandoning. Later this fall, they'll celebrate the 10-year anniversary with a retrospective special issue, and then the plan is to continue exploring odd culture and peculiar phenomena with invited guests.

So, how does it work when new topics are to be brainstormed? There's never a lack of ideas, he simply has brainstorming meetings with himself at his small one-man editorial office, he notes.

They're very good meetings. We always agree.

Hard Work Discipline

In reality, it's hard work discipline that's the key, he reveals.

It's a lot about establishing routines, working on office hours, and thinking that now I'm here, now there's a screen to be filled with text, and there's a whiteboard where five names should be written before I leave.

Kalle Lind has already written a long list of books, including some entertainment novels. But the next book project is something new and a bit more August-worthy, as he calls it. There's material and a publisher is involved.

The goal is high quality for a broad audience.

The culture I'm passionate about isn't high-brow, but has a certain afterthought.

"A Better View" is a newly written revue with a script by Kalle Lind.

Newly written music by Sigrid Abrahamsson, who is also the conductor.

In Helikopterrevyn, Sanna Persson Halapi, Charlotta Björck, Josef Törner, and Mimi Terris also participate.

Directed by Helena Röhr.

The revue is performed at Nöjesteatern in Malmö from September 27 to October 20.
