Henrik Dorsin's "Svenska revyn" Premieres Nationwide to Boost Local Cinemas

Henrik Dorsin's theatrical production "Svenska revyn," which has played to packed houses in Stockholm and Gothenburg, is set to premiere in cinemas across Sweden on February 4, 2026. This release marks the third time Dorsin's works have been adapted for the big screen, following the live broadcasts of "Glada änkan" in 2017 and "Scalarevyn" in 2022. Unlike previous live streams, "Svenska revyn" will be a pre-recorded performance. Nonetheless, Dorsin hopes the film will recreate the festive atmosphere of past screenings, where audiences in smaller towns dressed up, enjoyed snacks, and celebrated together.

Dorsin emphasizes the importance of supporting local cinemas, which he believes often rely on dedicated enthusiasts to survive, especially outside the major cities. He remarked, "Everything feels very city-centric, and the smaller towns are often forgotten," highlighting his motivation to bring entertainment to less urban areas and aid smaller cinemas nationwide. The initiative "Live på bio" by Folkets hus och parker, which has broadcast performing arts to cinemas for over 20 years, anticipates that at least 100 cinemas will participate in showcasing "Svenska revyn."

In addition to the film release, Dorsin is set to star in the upcoming Netflix movie "The Swedish connection," a World War II drama scheduled for release next year. Reflecting on this role, he noted enjoying the blend of humor and drama, stating, "It’s nice to be free of being funny." As the current run of "Svenska revyn" nears its end in Malmö, Dorsin looks forward to a break, enjoying simple pleasures like reading and socializing after a busy period.
