Spex

I went to Linköpings spex this saturday, it was awesome! A spex is a form of comedy musical where the audience can interact with the story and what is happening on stage. Let's say you like the song they just sang, then you shout "Restart!" and they'll sing about the same thing again but with another song. One of the songs this saturday they had to restart 6 or 7 times, and each time with a new, selfmade song on the same theme! Other things to shout are for example "in german", "backwards", "fumble more" or "in slow motion" and then the actors have to reenact the scene but in a slightly different way.

Spex is an old tradition among Swedish students. The first spex in Linköping was performed 1981. If you get the chance to see a spex you ought to take it! I regret I didn't see one earlier :)
