During a stroll in Uppsala, we’ll have the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with celebrities such as Dag Hammarskjöld, Gösta Knutsson, Ingmar Bergman, Gustaf Fröding, and Karin Boye.
Author and lecturer Lars-Åke Skagegård resides outside Uppsala and has previously written about ‘The Authors of Uppsala’ and ‘Walks in the Footsteps of Gluntarne.’ He has also penned books on diverse topics such as Alfred Nobel and neo-Nazism, Nacka, and Dag Hammarskjöld. Lars-Åke Skagegård will lead us on an hour-long walk through the older quarters around the University, the Castle, and the English Park, where he will share stories about various authors who have lived and worked in Uppsala. Through his guidance, we’ll become acquainted with personalities such as Dag Hammarskjöld, Ingmar Bergman, Gösta Knutsson, and Karin Boye. In an engaging and enjoyable manner, Lars-Åke will recount the authors’ life stories, history, and their time here in Uppsala.
Lunch will be served at a charming restaurant in central Uppsala.
Opposite Uppsala Central Station stands our theater. Uppsala City Theatre is Sweden’s third-largest city theater, often described as a magnet for visitors, a vibrant heart in the city. Today, we won’t have a typical visit; instead, we’ll discover the theater’s innermost corners. What does it look like behind the scenes? What does a props master do? Where do the actors go during intermission? During a guided tour, we’ll wander through every nook of the theater. From rehearsal rooms to the actors’ dressing rooms, we’ll see how the theater’s makeup artists work their magic with the most incredible makeup and wigs, peek into the costume department’s fantastic storage, and step behind the scenes.
