Umespexet - time to feel like a student again!

Tonight we went to this year's student farce featuring Umespexet. As usual, a real story is converted to a farce including a lot of songs (often known melodies with a new text). The theme this year was Apollo - the first landing on the moon. We have been to some student farces in Linköping before, and also here the show was interrupted by the audience shouting "Omstart!" (= start over), followed by a repeat of the song/dialog but with a new text. Improvisation is an important quality of the actors, but we guess that they have practiced a lot of different varieties for a certain scene.
We missed the sentences with all the words starting on the same letter, as well as the sentences including a lot of a special kind of words (like car brands or animals), which was common in the Linköping farces.
