“Jonas Karlsson (actor)”
“”Becoming an orphan was harder than I thought””
“He wrote in the grief of losing their parents. “
“Jonas Karlsson’s new novel ”the Regnmannen”, his most personal to date, is about Ingemar, who lives to care for their roses.”
“He wrote in the grief of losing their parents. Jonas Karlsson’s new novel ”the Regnmannen”, his most personal to date, is about Ingemar, who lives to care for their roses.”
“His flyktyrke is a gardener, it is usually the actor and author Jonas Karlsson jokingly say. But the fact is that fertilizers and skugglägen of plants has a special nostalgic connotation for him – the garden was his parents ‘ great passion.”
“– They worked so well together in it, and they loved it. It is a part of my childhood, I liked to run around and be with them there, there was something quiet and cosy over there, ” says Jonas Karlsson fondly.”
“With the same warmth portrays he Ingmar in the novel ”Regnmannen”. He is a retired theatre director who after his wife passed away spend all their time and love to her roses.”
“It’s been twelve years since Jonas Karlsson made his debut, and since then, he has interspersed his acting career to give out the novellas and short stories. The new book think he feels like the first real novel. The road up to it was emotional. His mom had a stroke a few years ago and suddenly went away. Whilst you are ill discovered Jonas Karlsson also new pages with his dad.”
“– He took care of her so nice. He went to the hospital every single day. It was so lovingly and tenderly, so it was almost like getting a new dad, I didn’t know that there was in him.”
“His childhood was both loving and happy, he adds. But his dad shared some characteristics with the protagonist of Ingmar: they both belong to a generation of men who don’t like to talk so much about feelings.”
” When mother went away, he was so incredibly lonely and sad. I thought, ”now maybe we can meet here in any way”. But it was nevertheless as he spoke a different language, it didn’t quite.”
“about two years ago, died in addition, Jonas Karlsson’s dad.”
“– Then I went down some hole and the book came to be more about me and what it was like to be an orphan. It was harder than I had thought, I was not prepared for it.”
“eventually, however, the book’s Ingmar a private person, a low-key type that feels again from Jonas Karlsson’s writing. The storyline takes a somewhat absurd direction, which is also characteristic of much of his prose. Ingmar will find a remarkable crane, which somehow seems to stand in covenant with the rain.”
“– When I write, I am so unsorted, so much written is just general and you can then find a faucet that gets you so happy, ” says Jonas Karlsson, who tests out also when he’s talking.”
“But he clarifies that he himself is searching for is to discover. He has no agenda but gropes its way along and treat themselves to ”swim around” in it where unknown as the story first.”
“” I have hundreds of ”börjor” in the computer. Sometimes it happens that there is any sort of mystery, and then I usually try to not prematurely determine or formulate what it is. On the other hand, it is very fun when people explain what it is about, it feels rich to be able to open a world, so getting people to fill in, ” he says.”
“In the ”Regnmannen” is drawn both the förnumstige neighbor and a local municipal politicians in Ingmars detection. They’re all a bit omsprungna, ” says Jonas Karlsson, thoughtfully, as in a Tjechovsk world of waiting. Ingmar put his entire life on the länsteatrarna – portrait of him is also a tribute to all those enthusiasts who get the Swedish teaterliv to go around. But suddenly he’s passé, and friends of the missing.”
“The loneliness is something Jonas Karlsson has touched before.”
“I believe I have written about it because I’m a little bit afraid of loneliness, so it is with some of the topics I will return to, as mental instability – in this case, it is perhaps delusional,” he says, and compare it with the garden.”
“Both it and the imagination may be a bit wild – so long as they at the same time taming.”
“To end up outside of the group think he feels scary. But to be for itself is no Jonas Karlsson is afraid of – large parts of the childhood he spent in a pine forest, with their own fantasies as company. He still remembers the disappointment when the world thought that he was too big to pretend.”
“But the creative faucet, he has never closed off.”
” basically, creation is a way to communicate with other people. I think I prefer that sort of communication, which is a little slower because I am a rather slow person. I haven’t even Facebook – the speedy does not fit my temperament.”
“Family: Wife and three daughters.”
“like to Read ”I read so much. But I have just read Agota Kristofs trilogy, it was fantastic.””
“the Light: He made his debut as an actor in Lars Noréns ”Romanians” at the Theatre Plaza (1994). In recent years he has appeared in, among other things. ”
“As a writer he debuted in 2007 with the short story collection ”The other goal”. He has also written the short story collection ”
“At the time: ”We will have the premiere on the film about Thomas Quick in October. Then there is the premiere of a musikalfilm with a lot of Thomas Ledin-songs, where Edward af Sillén is a director.””
“… the situation at the royal dramatic theatre:”
“I have been on leave from the royal dramatic theatre in several years. But I become distressed. I have read it as written and it is incredibly sad that it need to be so. It is completely unreasonable that you can’t go to work and feel safe. On the whole, it is where the house is full of so many good people and amazing actors, directors and sufflöser, who work day and night because they are so dedicated to making good theatre. Therefore, I think the least we can ask for is that everyone should feel safe at the theatre.”
“There is nothing in the to be violent, threatening, harassing, or be utlevande so that people will be afraid that it would be better theatre. I thought that we were past. On the contrary, good theatre can only do this when all feel secure and to trust each other completely. For it is so incredibly vulnerable to be standing there anyway.””
“I have always written. I began to write diaries and personal stories early on, long before I became an actress. It is nice to write. Sometimes it is because you need to sort out the thoughts, one must formulate in order to understand himself and the world.””
