Sissela Kyle back with new, personal "My Idea of Mom."
Sissela Kyle has for several years gone along with the idea that her mother's time on earth would fit in a stage version. Now the new "My idea about mother" is getting rid of.
Gunhild Kyle was born in 1921, the same year that Sweden's women came of age and got the right to vote. Her life was in many ways typical of a woman of her time. World War II girl, first in her family to graduate in the forties, educated and married in the fifties, kept home and worked full-time in the sixties, and divorced in the seventies. Like many other women in Sweden. But Gunhild was also a pioneer with her research on women's conditions, which made her the Nordic region's first professor of women's history.
- Gunhild Kyle was a brilliant, funny, gloomy and furiously angry person. I want to tell about her struggle and deed, about her anguish and fervor. I want to tell you about what it was like when she became old and blind and in need of help and how she fought for her dignity, to continue to be a person to be reckoned with until the end. I want to tell you about that, says Sissela.
- In the past, I have pondered and joked about death and lists in my shows. Now it's time to see time through mom's eyes, which sometimes also happen to be mine. What happened? How did it turn out? Why? I will be both funny and serious. As a mother, says Sissela.
