Ola Aurell – Mänsklighetens lyckligaste tid

Mänisklighetens lyckligaste tid Ola Aurell tries to answer the eternal questions of where we really come from, where on earth we’re headed – and whether things might actually have been even worse in the past.

This is a comedy concert that delves into both anxiety about the future and nostalgia.

After the success of Herr Aurells nästan lämpliga sånger, which played to full houses across the country, Ola Aurell is back with a brand-new musical comedy show. New songs, new jokes and new absurdities.

He asks us whether things were better in the past. Is dystopia just around the corner? Were older generations constantly tipsy? Who took the last slice of tiger cake? Will artificial intelligence take our jobs? Was the telephone directory the pinnacle of our civilisation?

The Vasa ship’s short maiden voyage, the hockey mullet and an existential fear of old age sit alongside the comforting certainty that the hip flask will at least survive the collapse of civilisation.

As always, Ola Aurell’s elegant wordplay is interspersed with bad taste, cheerful jibes and hidden nerdy obsessions. History, the present day and anxiety about the future all get their well-deserved knocks.

To raise the bar all the way to the ceiling, he is bringing rising stars Sand & Hallander along on the tour. Their retro-sounding backing vocals make a strong impression on Ola Aurell’s new album, due for release this winter, so having them as his backing group felt like an absolute necessity.

Age: Recommended for ages 13 and over.

Duration: 110 min including interval
