(Re)Making Bergman

Over the past year, we’ve seen an unusually high number of reinterpretations of Ingmar Bergman’s works on Swedish and international stages and screens – and several more are in the works. 

The TV series Faithless. Fanny and Alexander at Teater Galeasen directed by Hannes Meidal and Jens Ohlin – and as an opera in Brussels with music by Mikael Karlsson – and there are plans in the pipeline for remakes of three Bergman fi lms. What liberties can one take with the original? Are there artistic, ethical, or other boundaries? Can one cherrypick from the Bergman cake? What relevance does Bergman’s themes have today? 

On the panel: Hannes Meidal, Jens Ohlin, Peter Birro and Mikael Karlsson.
