"Mormor, Mamma & Jag"

The music performance "Mormor, mamma och jag" (Grandmother, Mother, and Me) is a tragicomic attempt at liberation with deep seriousness, liberating laughter, and plenty of music. Can one break free from the demands of perfectionism and the vague feelings of anxiety and shame left behind by mother and grandmother?

"The music is the great strength in Eva Hillered's and Daniel Östersjö's theater concert about how three generations of women have shaped each other. It's personal, universally relatable, and sensitive." - SvD Dan Backman

"Eva Hillered's stories are both thought-provoking and captivating; you're forced into completely different moods, memories, like migrating birds returning. Eva Hillered gives us a rare power to control our own lives, to overcome flaws, understand the fragility of life, embrace our strengths, and increase our self-awareness." - Bo Bjelvehammar, author and literary critic, Lira magazine
