THE CURTAIN FALLS: A SUNDAY BACKSTAGE AT THE THEATRE 🎭✨

What truly happens when the curtain falls at a theatre on a quiet Sunday afternoon? 🎭

Join me for a tender, funny, and quietly magical glimpse behind the scenes at our Stockholm theatre as we play our Sunday matinée—the last show before a few well-earned days of rest 🍂. The season has turned; autumn has crept through the stage door, and everything feels a little more thoughtful, a little more golden.

Our production assistant, the ever-charming Terran, surprises me with vegan chocolate wafers 🍫 (a delight far too elegant to decline), while our stage manager Simon offers his usual stream of heartfelt, slightly unsolicited life advice 💬—and somehow, I always end up better for it. There’s laughter, a touch of wisdom, and perhaps too much sugar.

But the real spectacle unfolds after the show. Once the final applause fades 👏, the stagehands rush in—swift, focused, and utterly mesmerizing. Set walls disappear, props are tucked away, and a whole world collapses into neatly stacked boxes 📦. Watching them work is like witnessing a ballet of precision and teamwork, where every gesture counts and every second matters.

And when the stage grows silent again, I stay behind 🧺. It’s laundry night for the costumes—silks, satins, and sequins all awaiting their turn in the wash. The theatre becomes hushed, save for the hum of the machines, and there’s something oddly peaceful in caring for the garments that bring our stories to life.

This vlog isn’t just about backstage work—it’s about gratitude 💕. About the people who build, repair, fold, wash, and carry the invisible magic that makes a show possible. Whether you’re a theatre lover, a creative soul, or simply someone who loves the rhythm of ordinary life made extraordinary, this video will remind you how much beauty lies in the quiet moments after the spotlight fades. 🌙
