Theatre: Gustav Vasa in Svärdsjö

2023 marks 500 years since Gustav Eriksson Vasa was elected King of Sweden at the Riksdag in Strängnäs. The occasion is commemorated in a historical summer play written and directed by Theresia Holmstedt Jensen. The production is staged by Kråkan Kultur & Teater.

I have met the actors and photographed some of them. A true pleasure for me as a photographer.
