Welcome to Denna sida upp – a performance about the Swedish benevolence.

On May 20, Emilia Wärff will perform her solo  Denna sida upp at Högsbo parish hall in Gothenburg.

Using her own experiences as the starting point, and with the gripper at hand, Emilia tells a story about the Swedish model that’s both abstract and absurd. Denna sida upp is a performance where function becomes form, where the Aid Central’s everyday selection is elevated, shifted, and transformed into something dreamy, headstrong, and beautiful. All of it to the rhythmic and playful music of musician and composer Anna Gustavsson.

During the spring of 2026, Emilia and choreographer Gunilla Heilborn collaborated on the further development of the performance. The project was made possible through support from City of Gothenburg.

The performance on May 20 is part of an evening program featuring several events.
