Facts

 

Daniel Fredriksson Daniel grew up in Skellefteå and as a folk musician has taken an interest in new interpretations of the Västerbottnian song treasure, including in the duo "Pettersson & Fredriksson". Daniel received his doctorate in ethnology at Umeå University in 2018, and now works at Högskolan Dalarna's education in Sound and Music Production. He is interested in audiovisual storytelling and at the Västerbottensteatern he has previously produced "Getaren", which is also based on an oral story from the county.

Lisa Johansson Sandberg from Vilhelmina (1894-1982) was above all known as an artist where she used plant-dyed wool yarn to create beautiful pictures, often with mountain motifs. She was a great storyteller, wrote several books with a cultural history focus, and from a seemingly never-ending source came the stories made up of personal memories from growing up, customs and practices, but also supernatural events and beings.
