Investigate the destiny question of life, what is the real meaning of life?
Experience a unique chance to examine life’s destiny question, what is the real meaning of life? Welcome to a caravan park where each caravan offers a unique entrance to the meaning of life. Meet a philosopher, enjoy dancing in the forest, listen to sweet music, bask in the sauna and swim in the summer evening. The evening is rounded off around the campfire where we sound focus on one of life’s great meanings – food.

Meningen med livet is a whole evening where you together with the artist Tove Berglund and choreographer Ludvig Daae examines one of life’s great fateful questions. In a caravan park where every caravan offers a unique entrance to the meaning of life, you meet a philosopher, get a one-on-one concert and experience choreographic elements via a forest walk. Maybe it’s baths and saunas which is the meaning of life, or the taste of cooked food after an eventful day? No matter what it’s what gives meaning to your existence, that’s how this late summer evening ends around the campfire in a confidential conversation about the meaning of life.

In her work as a costume designer, Ludvig Daae has been a recurring and close collaborator. Tove’s interactive work has been a hit with participants and critics. Above all, the trilogy, Årets Händelser, which she concluded with the all-night work Julen together with Daae at Norrlandsoperan in 2021, drew attention. In her work, she often explores lustful interactions, epic themes, and good taste.
