LIKE ME – songs, truths, and gossip!

I've always found it both fun and challenging to do something more than just a straight-up, regular concert when I get the chance to face an audience. Over the years, I've wrestled with glitchy slide projectors, had heated dialogues with myself in the form of a life-size cardboard doll, rode in a triumphal chariot in gladiator armor, and I've even toured with a real therapist who had therapy with me on stage between songs.

In 2023, the book "OM Niklas Strömstedt" was published, which is an autobiographical journey through both his private life and his more public career, and while working on that book, the idea was born to also let it become the basis for a stage performance.

What songs made the hairs on your arms stand up? What did Evert Taube say when he called? How do you get out of that paralyzing and destructive silence and when suddenly there's a turkey hanging under your chin – what the hell do you do? And love – can you understand it?

Volumes have been written about the influential music of Tristan und Isolde . The music is based on the idea of ​​an insatiable longing that can never be fulfilled in this life. The prelude sweeps the listener into an ecstatic but agonizing world of desire, and the vocal parts are of unique dignity. The opera culminates in Isolde's famous closing aria, Mild und leise, with a final octave leap that concludes this unique musical-dramatic journey.

– Getting to throw myself out into Sweden and play could be the best thing there is. I've bought eight new wigs and am loaded with ideas and jokes in every direction! Meeting the audience and the feeling that anything can happen with the help of humor is the best thing in life. Yeeehaaaa! , says Per.
