Catti Brandelius is coming to Gnesta with her alter ego, Låtsas-Catti, and describes the evening’s performance in her own words:
If you had another version of yourself, what would you do? When I feel too shy, I have Låtsas-Catti, who can say the things I don’t dare to say. Who is the angel and who is the devil between myself and Låtsas-Catti? We’ll figure that out. In any case, Låtsas-Catti is the one who decides which songs to play.
Joining her on stage and providing accompaniment is musician and artist Eric Palmqwist.

In Elliot Baron and Sonja Tofik’s concert Sov andas, they explore how the voice carries others through absence, sleep, and vulnerability. In a poetic adaptation of intensive care diaries combined with a soundscape of recordings, dissolves, and feedback, a sound piece emerges about language’s ability to carry a person through absence. Sonja Tofik is a composer and experimental musician; Elliot Baron is a writer and nurse.
