I will neither sing nor play an instrument. I will sit on a chair on stage and read aloud, Lasson tells TT.
He says that Torsson's singer had written lyrics to tie the songs together but wanted someone else to read them.
Per Lasson calls it "a media theatre concert" and thinks he can now tick off a new item on his bucket list.
Film and theatre are fairly controlled environments. Now I get to live out my rock dream a little bit, he says, revealing that he had a synth band in his youth.
Breakthrough in "The Thin Blue Line"
Aside from touring with Torsson, acting is now the only thing that counts. His breakthrough came a few years ago with the role of Jesse, the eldest of the group of Malmö police officers in the TV series "The Thin Blue Line" - which returns this Christmas with four episodes. Following the model of a famous English TV series, it is being called a Christmas special.
Over the past year, Lasson has been seen as Tom, one of the brothers in Felix Herngren's series "Where the Sun Always Shines". He has become a multi-millionaire by selling his Ica Maxi store, taking his family with him and buying a large house in Mallorca. His brother Timmy and his family come to visit and stay, leading to family conflicts.
In the new season, a school class led by someone Timmy's wife has had an affair with visits the island.
This is not like "The Sunny Side". We have no gags, no one-liners. We are not trying to be funny, but hopefully it will be funny anyway. It's serious, with topics like divorce and so on, says Lasson.
"Is luxurious"
"Where the Sun Always Shines" has been a great success, with screenings on both SkyShowtime and SVT. Will there be a continuation after season two? There is no official word, but if Per Lasson gets to decide, there will be many more.
Imagine doing this for seven seasons and spending a lot of time in Mallorca. It's luxurious.
What happens with "The Thin Blue Line" after the four new episodes, which are about to be released, seems more uncertain, although there is undoubtedly more to tell about the police in Malmö. What happens in the Christmas special is still a secret, except that Malmö is hit by a massive cyberattack.
Per Lasson now has a dream he hopes will come true.
A really good biopic that will allow me to go to a film festival. There may be something in the works, but it's too early to talk about it yet.
