----------1995 - The Gerlög runestone

"Gerlögs rune" is a theatre performance with its premier on Adelsö in 1995. In proximity to the show there was a Viking age village where I worked as a rune carver.

The meaning was that the runestone would belong to the theatre every year it returned, but the show have let await itself and doesn't seem to recur before the summer of 2002.

Maybe the work with the runestone will proceed, but perhaps it will be saved as it is, a memory. Maybe there will be a new runestone or rune slab carved for the next assembly that then becomes both bigger and yet more organized.

Background:  
The theatre is based upon six runic inscriptions 

The Runeslab wes carved late in Gerlögs life when she could look back at everything. The rune slab have Upplands (The middle part of Sweden) longest rune inscription and gives us, along with Ingas runestones, a unique knowledge about the society, heritage and the woman's position in 11th century.

Ragnfast in Snottsta got Inga as wife, then he died, and also their son died. Inga inherited her son. Then Inga got Erik as husband before she died herself. Gerlög inherited all after Inga, her daughter.
/ Torbjörn bard carved runes.

During the time Inga lived in Snottsta she let carve four runestones that all can complete this rune inscription. All together this gives us an insight in these women's life's that there now is fully possible to do theatrical version of Gerlögs colorful life.
