Everything is nice and cozy, they all want a nice evening, but all the time the facades are cracking and what&#8217;s behind trickles out, sometimes between the lines, felt in the atmosphere, sometimes pronounced and confrontational. The longer the evening suffers and the bottles are emptied, the more comes out of trauma, grief, disappointment, aggression and the various longings all carry. Often, without the ability to process emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>Party in the Villa\u00a0grew out of a creative process in which the entire ensemble improvised, shared memories and experiences, talked and discussed topics lice partner relationships, life projects, to have\/not have children, to have the house, wanting to show a positive wiev on life despite all the difficult, that is also a reality.<\/p>\n<p>After this process Niklas wrote the libretto and music. The libretto consists entirely of material from the process and the work in progress with everyone in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Party in the Villa\u00a0premiered in 2008 and was played again in 2010 in a completely reworked version.<\/p>\n<p>There is an extensive blog from the process as possible to see <a href=\"http:\/\/newopera.blogspot.se\/2008\/02\/85-filmer-frn-januari-2008.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Party in the Villa\u00a0full performance from\u00a02008.
