Mia Skäringer's 'Mia, myself & I - Sista Måltiden' Premieres to Critical Acclaim for its Intimacy and Humor

Mia Skäringer’s new show "Mia, myself & I - Sista Måltiden" premiered on September 17 at China Teatern in Stockholm, immediately capturing the attention of critics and audiences alike. The performance offers an introspective exploration of Skäringer’s internal struggles, particularly focusing on her experience with social anxiety and ADHD. Her approach blends humor with somber reflection, creating a complex portrait of exhaustion and vulnerability as she approaches 50.

Directed by Helena Bergström and accompanied by cellist Linnea Olsson, the show has been described as "hysterically funny" by Expressen and "very intimate and completely crazy" by DN. The performance features Skäringer’s alter egos, Tabita and Ann-Marie, who provide contrasting perspectives—Tabita humorously critiques Skäringer’s self-pity while Ann-Marie offers moments of joy. A standout moment includes a poignant duet with Olsson performing Anni-Frid Lyngstad’s "Ett liv i solen," which energizes the show.

Unlike her 2018 show "No More Fucks To Give," this production leans toward melancholy, exploring themes of burnout and Skäringer’s desire to find normalcy amid chaos. The show symbolically includes a 50th birthday scene, mirroring the Last Supper, which deepens the personal and reflective tone. The mix of personal revelation, humor, and musical elements highlights Skäringer’s signature honesty and artistic range.

The show will continue running until December 12, inviting audiences to engage with its candid portrayal of mental health and identity challenges, underscored by both laughter and empathy.
