"A Bittersweet Beginning: Eric Hallengren's Journey in SÅ SOM I HIMMELEN"

These three poignant photos, the oldest on my phone, offer a glimpse into the anticipation and excitement surrounding Eric Hallengren's entry into the cast of SÅ SOM I HIMMELEN in the spring of 2020. As David Alvefjord bid farewell to the production, Eric embarked on his journey, trying on costumes that would never grace the stage due to the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic.





The first two photos showcase Eric trying on costumes for the moving men's role and a Lucianattlinee, a nightshirt worn in the Swedish tradition of celebrating Saint Lucy. The third photo focuses on his shoes, serving as a silent reminder of a run cut short by the arrival of COVID-19.


Captured in the spring of 2020 during the costume fittings at an undisclosed location, these images encapsulate a moment of transition and anticipation.


The main focus is Eric Hallengren as he steps into the costumes that would remain unseen by audiences due to the pandemic-related closure.


The backdrop of the costume fittings provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative process of bringing characters to life on stage.


**Featuring**: Featuring Eric Hallengren, these photos capture the essence of the theatrical journey and the excitement of a new cast member joining the production.


 The emotions are bittersweet, as the excitement of a new chapter in the production is juxtaposed with the disappointment of the pandemic-induced closure, leaving the costumes untouched and the stage unlit.


These photos are meaningful as they symbolize the unfulfilled potential of a theatrical run and the camaraderie shared with cast and crew during uncertain times.


As David Alvefjord exits the production and Eric Hallengren steps in, the narrative takes an unexpected turn with the onset of the pandemic. The costumes, once filled with promise, remain unworn, serving as a tangible reminder of the unforeseen challenges faced by the theatre community.
