Cellist

The story of Dan Andersson's grandmother, told by his granddaughter.
Together with fiddler Andreas Jakobsson's cello, the story unfolds, the notes and the words side by side.

The completely true story of Anna-Stina, a widow with five children, who is laid off from her smoking shed. Without food, she drags tar sticks on a sled through the forest to sell in the mine for three öre each. She tunes the mill. Loses. But gets an idea ...

A few voices from the audience:
"We forgot to breathe...."

"Your loving description of this woman grabbed hold of us all. And the music with its folk tone and a professional at the instrument was a different and suggestive experience."

"Yes, the whole you managed to create and convey from a bygone era with much suffering and difficulty, was only positive after all."
