Other information:

A new production of the popular cabaret show.

Blossom Tainton, Gladys del Pilar, Kayode “Kayo” Shekoni, Vivian Cardinal and Fransesca Quartey take off their feather boats and start the sequel to the hit show B.U.S!

Thirteen years have passed since the last show, and a lot has happened in the meantime. Five singers, dancers and actors – some with new careers on their CVs – are now in their 60s. Where are they now and what have they learned from life so far? Under the excellent direction of Josette Bushell-Mingo, they interweave enchanting song and dance numbers with personal reflections on important crossroads, ideals and the not always so enchanting downsides of ageing.

B.U.S – Bedårande Under Stress is a tender reunion, a poignant cabaret that opens an honest conversation with the audience about what it is like to live as a black woman in a changing Sweden.

The performance is in Swedish.
