First look at Gustaf Norén in the upcoming feature film "Dödsdansen" ("The Dance of Death")

"Dödsdansen" will be a historical drama set in 1868 during the Swedish famine. The main characters are "Näcken", played by Gustaf, and a generation of three women - grandmother, mother, daughter - played by Liv Ullmann, Ane Dahl Torp and Elsa Brisinger.

To quote the newspapers: "Elsa Brisinger makes her debut as a young maid working on a convent farm. When her father is found dead in the woods, the family is torn apart by guilt, shame and vulnerability. To the horror of her mother and grandmother, she seeks out the essence of the forest and is eventually seduced by the Näcken."

Director Niclas Gillis says that he wants to create a time document that lasts a hundred and two hundred years, similar to how the silent films "Häxan" and "Körkarlen" were created in the early 1920s.

This is going to be a big movie and just the fact that Gustaf will play alongside the movie icon Liv Ullmann is beyond exciting! Filming will only start in 2022, so they're still very much in the pre-production stage and of course post-production will also take its time, so let's see when "Dödsdansen" will hit the big screens.

This sets Conde on a quest that spans twenty-first century Havana as well as the distant past to uncover the true provenance of the statue.

The Night Will Be Long

Santiago Gamboa

Europa Editions

When a horribly violent confrontation occurs outside of Cauca, Colombia, only a young boy is around to witness it. But no sooner does the violence happen than it disappears, vanished without a trace. Nobody claims to have seen anything. Nobody claims to have heard anything. That is, until an anonymous accusation catalyzes a dangerous investigation into the deep underbelly of the Christian churches present today in Latin America. The Night Will Be Long is a dark, twisting thriller filled with moments of humor and pain--a story that will stick with readers long after they turn the last page.

THOMAS FEARNLEY

On this day of 27th December, Thomas Fearnley (27 December 1802 – 16 January 1842) was born in Frederikshald (now Halden) in Norway

He was a romantic painter, a pupil of Johan Christian Dahl, and a leading representative of Norwegian romantic nationalism in painting. His son founded the Fearnley dynasty of shipping magnates.

He was a student of the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (Den kongelige Tegneskole), Art Academy (Kunstakadamie) in Copenhagen, and the Art Academy (Konstakadamien) in Stockholm under Carl Johan Fahlcrantz.

Fearnley left Copenhagen bound for Stockholm to complete a painting commissioned by Crown Prince Oscar of Norway and Sweden. He received several orders from the Swedish royal family and from other members of the royal court including Swedish Count Gustaf Trolle-Bonde. He conducted study tours in Norway, at which time he met Johan Christian Dahl in Sogn.

He mostly painted in small towns south of Naples: Castellammare, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri, and in Switzerland: Meiringen, Grindelwald.

Fearnley's paintings alternate between oil sketches and larger, composed landscapes meant for exhibition. His large studio compositions have a cool monumental attitude with a taste for the powerful and wildly romantic in the favorite motifs, wilderness and waterfalls, and with a strong emphasis on the image's architectural structure.

The National Gallery in Oslo owns a total of 54 of his smaller pictures and sketches and also a series of drawings. Notable works in this collection include Labrofossen, Grindelwaldgletsjeren, and Slinde Birken. Other notable collections are located in the Bergen Kunstmuseum and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.

Fearnley contracted typhoid and died when he was only 39 years old.

Thomas Fearnley (27 Desember 1802 - 16 Januari 1842) adalah seorang pelukis romantis Norwegia, murid dari Johan Christian Dahl dan seorang wakil terkemuka nasionalisme romantis Norwegia dalam seni lukis. Putranya Thomas Fearnley (1841–1927) mendirikan dinasti Fearnley dari para raja pengiriman.

Thomas Fearnley dilahirkan di Frederikshald (sekarang Halden) di Østfold, Norwegia. Dia adalah putra pedagang Thomas Fearnley (1768-1834) dan Maren Sophie Pope (1782-1838). Dia adalah saudara astronom dan profesor Carl Frederik Fearnley (1818-1890). Kakek Fearnley, saudagar Thomas Fearnley (1729-1798), berimigrasi dari Yorkshire, Inggris ke Frederikshald, Norwegia pada 1753. Ibunya berasal dari keluarga Paus Norwegia yang terkemuka.

Pada 1840, ia menikahi Cecilia Catharine Andresen (1817-1888). Dia adalah putri dari dermawannya, bankir Nicolai Andresen (1781-1861), yang mendirikan apa yang kemudian menjadi Bank Andresen, salah satu bank komersial terbesar di Norwegia pada masanya. Pada musim gugur 1841, pasangan itu pergi ke Amsterdam untuk melahirkan anak tunggal mereka, Thomas Nicolay Fearnley (1841-1927), yang menjadi raja pengiriman Norwegia. Cucu-cucunya adalah raja pengiriman Thomas Fearnley (1880–1961) dan pemilik tanah N. O. Young Fearnley. Keturunannya mendirikan Museum Seni Modern Astrup Fearnley pada tahun 1993.

Thomas Fearnley menghadiri Korps Kadet Nasional (Landkadettkorpset) 1814-1819. Dia adalah seorang mahasiswa Akademi Kerajinan dan Seni Nasional Norwegia (Den congelige Tegneskole) (1819-1821), Akademi Seni (Kunstakadamie) di Kopenhagen (1821-1823) dan Akademi Seni (Konstakadamien) di Stockholm (1823-27) ) di bawah Carl Johan Fahlcrantz.

Fearnley meninggalkan Kopenhagen menuju Stockholm pada musim gugur 1823 untuk menyelesaikan lukisan yang ditugaskan oleh Putra Mahkota Oscar dari Norwegia dan Swedia. Dia menerima beberapa pesanan dari keluarga kerajaan Swedia dan dari anggota istana lainnya termasuk Pangeran Swedia Gustaf Trolle-Bonde. Dia melakukan study tour di Norwegia (1824-1826), di mana dia bertemu Johan Christian Dahl di Sogn. Setelah tinggal lagi di Kopenhagen dari (1827-1828) dan perjalanan baru Norwegia pada musim gugur 1828 ia pergi ke Jerman dan menjadi mahasiswa Dahl di Dresden (1829-1830) serta berteman dengan pelukis Jerman Joseph Petzl dan Pelukis Jerman-Denmark, Friedrich Bernhard Westphal. Dia tinggal di Munich (1830-1832).

Fearnley bepergian secara luas pada tahun 1830-an mengunjungi Munich, Paris, London, Hull dan distrik Danau Inggris. Selama September 1832, ia pergi dari Venesia ke Roma dan mengunjungi Sisilia pada musim panas berikutnya. Ia kebanyakan melukis di kota-kota kecil di selatan Napoli: Castellammare, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri dan di Swiss: Meiringen, Grindelwald. Dia pergi ke Paris pada musim panas 1835 dan mengunjungi London pada tahun berikutnya. Selama musim panas 1839 ia melakukan tur studi ke Sognefjord dan Hardangerfjord, bersama dengan pelukis Jerman Andreas Achenbach.

Lukisan-lukisan Fearnley berselang-seling di antara sketsa-sketsa minyak dan bentang alam yang lebih besar dan tersusun untuk pameran. Komposisi studionya yang besar memiliki sikap monumental yang keren dengan selera kuat dan sangat romantis dalam motif favorit, hutan belantara, dan air terjun, dan dengan penekanan kuat pada struktur arsitektur gambar. Galeri Nasional di Oslo memiliki total 54 gambar dan sketsa yang lebih kecil dan juga serangkaian gambar. Karya-karya penting dalam koleksi ini termasuk Labrofossen (1837), Grindelwaldgletsjeren (1838) dan Slinde Birken (1839). Koleksi terkenal lainnya terletak di Bergen Kunstmuseum dan Nationalmuseum di Stockholm.

Fearnley tertular tipus dan diedit pada Januari 1842 ketika dia baru berusia 39 tahun. Dia awalnya dimakamkan di Südlicher Friedhof di Munich. Pada tahun 1922, putranya mengatur agar mayat ayahnya dipindahkan ke Vär Frelsers gravlund di Oslo.

Gustaf, a typical family sim, is beyond enthusiastic to have not one but TWO children in his house. He is loving his roll of Step-father.

The Bakker household has changed a bit since we last saw them. Astrid and Hilda Dahle have moved to the Noble's manor to be servants. Which has left plenty of room for Nikita and her twins to move in.

Shortly before his death, David Bowie, together with the Irish playwright Enda Walsh, wrote a poetically riddled musical. "Lazarus" builds on a story in which Bowie once starred: as Thomas Jerome Newton, he was "The Man Who Falled From Heaven" in the eponymous film by Nicolas Roeg in 1976. The alien Newton was on Earth landed, looking for water for his home planet. He fell in love, planned his return - but broke the cold of human civilization. Here begins the plot of "Lazarus". Newton lives among us, as ordinary earthlings. He is tormented by the demons of his past whom he tries to scare off with Gin. His immortality torments him, and he yearns for salvation. As a young girl, a lost soul like him, enters his life, Newton draws hope: Could she help him to begin his long-awaited journey? »Lazarus« brings together world hits such as »Absolute Beginners«, »Heroes« or »This Is Not America«. Nevertheless, the piece, like David Bowie himself, always keeps his secret. _______________________________ The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus is showing »Lazarus« as a German-language premiere on the main stage of the Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz. It is staged by Matthias Hartmann, who tells his ensemble of the desire to return to the stars. In the role of Thomas Jerome Newton, the Norwegian performer and singer Hans Petter Melø Dahl (including Needcompany and MaisonDahlBonnema).

All of the dead ghosts from the Dahle Round currently reside with the Bakkers a until cemetery is built. 

They are not happy ghosts.

“Osnir have mercy on my soul.”

Idonae is a contender for the most active ghost. She seems almost, jealous? in a way, longing to interact with her daughter.

:(

Meanwhile, these two have started to take the next steps in their relationship. Why wait? Nikita will provide a new trade for the Bakkers and additional income and Niki will get a step up in life.

Also they’re in luuurve

The end of the round has come. Some notable achievements. 

Hilda Dahle moves in after becoming an orphan

Gustaf and Nikita Orne pursue a romance, with intentions to marry next round 

Gustaf has his first kiss and woohoo with Niki 🥺

Gustaf almost dies to a ghost, the motion for a cemetery is set in action

“Do you smell something, Gustaf?”

Every time a fire starts I start mentally panicking. Somehow, between the panicking, these two put out the fire. The only damage was stove, which Gustaf quickly repaired.

In addition to the fire, it was little Hilda’s birthday. Gustaf has been pretty busy with his smithing, but made time for his ward. She’s pretty cute, I think she’s taking more after the late Andorr

Hilda quickly adjusts to her newfound mobility, the puppies aren’t fast enough to escape her cuddles!

Speaking of, our boys are no longer little. They got thicc.
