The poet, singer and multi-artist Wilho Akseli Ollikainen (1934 – 1998) from Ullatti in Norrbotten lived, sang, felt and thought about existence, love and darkness. He wrote poems about nature, the human condition and the course of the world. Equipped with a cassette recorder and typewriter, he wrote, commented and, as it were, blogged his experiences and reflections decades before the word blog was invented. He created constantly, almost manically, and he also used art as medicine for his inner demons.

The folk music group WAO (Wilho Akseli Ollikainen), which consists of musicians from JP Nyströms, JORD and JPP, have all been inspired and touched in different ways by Wilho Ollikainen's artistry. From his very rich material, they have created this new music and storytelling performance directed by Kjell Peder Johanson. Wilho's songs, ballads, poems and not least his story, are worth hearing and being touched by.

WOW! An evening in Wilho Akseli Ollikainen's world

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?

Niklas Strömstedt – Like me

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.

Meeting the audience and the feeling that anything can happen with the help of humor is the best thing in life. Yeeehaaaa! , says Per.
