– the reflections of an everyday knight
Medeltiden is a self-examining and humorous look at middle age, parenthood – and knighthood. Something for those who are trying to balance the demands of adulthood with the dream of living life to the fullest and perhaps managing to leave something valuable behind. Or at least of being a reasonably decent parent.
Medeltiden is a warm, accurate and personal performance. It’s a story that examines, with humour and reflection, what it really means to live your life in line with your own values – in a time when heroism is rarely about great deeds, but about small but decisive moments. Like keeping calm at the breakfast table.
Samuel Karlsson welcomes you to a monologue about the balance between responsibility, demands, preconceptions and personal dreams. About the absurdity of everyday life – when you stand bent over a child who refuses to put on shoes, while the realisation hits: that you may have already lived half of your days, and that the remaining ones are ticking down at an ever faster pace.
What does it mean to suddenly find yourself in the middle of life?
And how did you get here?
